OMB Moves Ahead With Unloading Excess Real Estate
The Obama administration has stepped up its effort to unload unneeded federal real estate, releasing on Wednesday an updated interactive map of some 12,000 properties either for sale or recently sold, as well as a new dashboard on the website Performance.gov that tracks agency progress toward President Obama's goal of saving $3.5 billion by the end of 2012. Chief Performance Officer Jeffrey Zients in a blog post said, "agencies have already identified real estate savings opportunities that exceed the president's goal."
