The General Services Administration (GSA), in collaboration with the Department of Government Efficiency, has announced that numerous federal office leases are set to be terminated in the coming months. A GSA planning document dated March 10 specifies anticipated cancellation dates for many leases, although it does not guarantee immediate closures. Federal agencies will need to explore negotiating new leases or relocating if they intend to maintain operations at these sites.
The following federal offices are slated for lease termination, alongside their respective sizes:
– Savannah River Operations Office, Aiken, S.C. – 2,250 square feet
