July 3 Declared West Virginia State Holiday This Year
KANAWHA COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA, JUL 1 – Governor Morrisey granted state employees an additional day off on July 3 to extend Independence Day celebrations despite last month’s refusal to recognize Juneteenth as a paid holiday.
- Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that West Virginia’s public workers will be granted an additional day off on Thursday, July 3, ahead of Independence Day.
- The announcement follows the administration's decision not to grant a paid holiday for Juneteenth, which Morrisey cited financial reasons for last month.
- The extra day off applies only to state public employees, excluding local government workers, private businesses, and essential staff for health and safety.
- As the nation’s Independence Day nears, Morrisey urged West Virginia state employees to take extra moments to connect with their loved ones and honor the values that define the country.
- This designation extends the Independence Day weekend for state workers, while the state will formally recognize Juneteenth without sponsoring formal activities amid fiscal challenges.
