President Trump has issued an order to revoke previous directives from Presidents Carter and Clinton that limited federal agencies from relocating to lower-cost facilities. He argues that these orders hinder efficient government operations. By allowing agencies to choose cost-effective locations, Trump believes that it will enhance service efficiency for taxpayers. This order comes just as federal agencies are being urged to submit relocation plans from Washington, D.C., prompting interest from states like Ohio and Texas to attract these agencies based on potential economic benefits.
Revoking both of these orders will serve to restore common sense to federal office space management by freeing agencies to select cost-effective facilities and focus on successfully carrying out their missions for American taxpayers.
The order arrived one day after a deadline for various federal agencies to submit plans for relocating offices out of the Washington, D.C., metro area... officials in Ohio, Texas and Florida have been lobbying to land key agencies.
