The need for the closures on Friday are due to several factors.
- Over 15,000 Walton County residents remain without power
- Facilities must be prepared to receive employees, students and the public
- Communications with Tallahassee are limited at this time due to the power outages. These limitations are affecting the issuance of driver’s licenses, vehicular titles or concealed weapons permits
