Governor Lamont Orders Executive Branch State Office Buildings Closed to the Public Tuesday Due to Winter Storm - CT.gov

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he is ordering all executive branch state office buildings closed to the public on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, due to the significant winter storm that is anticipated to impact certain areas of Connecticut throughout the day.

All level 2 state employees whose job duties can be completed remotely should telework, or they may request use of accrued leave; All level 2 state employees whose job duties cannot be completed remotely should not report to work in-person; and All level 1 state employees should report to work as scheduled or directed.

Level 2 state employees include all of those who were previously designated as “nonessential” based on their respective job duties.

Level 1 state employees are those who were previously designated as “essential.” The terminology used for these classifications was modified through an executive order issued in 2018.

The governor’s storm-related directive applies to executive branch state offices.

“This is shaping up to be a unique winter storm for our small state in that there will be big differences in snowfall amounts depending on where you are located,” Governor Lamont said.
