TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – State offices will be closed even longer this year as the holidays approach, according to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“Our state employees have worked hard throughout the year,” DeSantis said. “I hope they enjoy additional time off with loved ones and friends this holiday season. The First Lady and I are thankful for their continued dedication to the people of Florida.”
