Oriol of the Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) announces that the Division of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) offices in both the St. Thomas-St. John and St. Croix districts will be closed on Friday, October 24, 2025. Normal business hours will resume on Monday, October 27, 2025, at 8 a.m.
