Sonoma County to open new service center in Sonoma Valley  

Sonoma County Supervisor Susan Gorin and other local leaders will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 17 to celebrate the opening of the county’s new East Sonoma County Services Center. 

The Services Center, located at 19080 Lomita Ave., will offer limited  appointments with staff for the Department of Child Support Services,  Department of Health Services, Department of Human Services and District  1 Supervisor Susan Gorin.

Additional county departments may also staff the  new services center in the coming months based on community needs and  interest. 

“The opening of a new service center in Sonoma Valley is cause for  celebration for both the county and the entire Sonoma Valley community,”  said Supervisor Gorin, who represents the area. “Many residents and  families will soon be able to access county services without the need to drive  out of town.

“We’re starting small and will be looking at what services are  needed by residents so we can potentially expand offerings in the future.  Thank you to the community for their advocacy, and to all the county  departments and leaders who made our dream possible.” 

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the opening at 2pm.

Coming up: on Jan. 26, Supervisor Gorin, her staff and representatives  from various county departments will host an open house at the East  Sonoma County Services Center in Sonoma Valley from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. to  welcome residents to the new facility. Light refreshments will be served. The  public is welcome.
