Hallstead H & R Block Office Remodeled Carol and Steve Galloway, owners of the H & R Block offices since 1992, in the Windsor Plaza and at 103 Main Street, Hallstead, have recently completed phase one of their remodeling project at the Hallstead office. The front portion of the building was gutted and walls were removed to expand the office area. The front porch was removed and a larger window was installed and now displays the familiar green block logo. The porch project will be completed in the spring, after the tax deadline of April 15, along with landscaping and new sidewalks. The Galloway’s have an excellent staff willing to serve your needs. They have owned and operated the offices since 1993. An additional office located on Route 7 in the center of Conklin, across from the Reliable Market, is newly renovated and open for business. You can expect the same courteous and confidential service you deserve. Carol plans to only prepare taxes in the Hallstead office while Steve will be in both offices during the week to see clients. Their staff has attended many hours of classroom training to learn of the many changes and updates that affect an individual or small business tax return. An Open House is planned for Saturday, January 15, in both the Hallstead and Conklin offices from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Stop in for free refreshments.
