The office will close at 5 p.m. Jan. 3 and will resume normal service at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21 after the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday closure that Monday.
The project includes reconstruction of the counters at the office, improvements to the camera and testing areas, and data and electrical updates.
