Over 100 federal office leases reinstated by G.S.A
The Trump administration's effort to cut federal office leases has faced significant challenges. Elon Musk's team aimed to terminate leases for underused properties, claiming potential savings of $500 million. However, lawmakers and agency officials raised concerns about the impact on government services. As a result, the General Services Administration is reversing over 100 lease terminations, including key offices for the Energy Department and the Army Corps of Engineers. This decision follows a chaotic process where the G.S.A. issued numerous lease termination notices while also considering the sale of more than 440 federal properties.
