Washington's Birthday: What's Closed, What's Open
On Monday, all government offices, including schools and post offices, are closed Banks may open.
Monday, Feb. 21, is considered a federal holiday, and state and local governments, including both Connecticut and the city of Shelton, close most offices. Banks in Connecticut have the option of remaining open, but must announce it well in advance. Shelton residents who want to go to the Shelton Transfer Station or City Yard on Monday will have to wait until Tuesday. The station and yard will be closed in observance of President's Day.
In federal law, the name is "Washington's Birthday," not "President's Day," and that's how the federal government refers to it, although some states (not Connecticut) and organizations use the other name.
The following are CLOSED Monday:
