The Department of Government Expenditures (DOGE) is enacting significant cuts by terminating leases for federal offices across various states, affecting a range of facilities including 30 FDA sites in 23 states and numerous other federal buildings. In total, approximately one in every ten active federal commercial real estate leases has been canceled. Major cuts include closures in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, with claims of substantial savings: $17 million in Georgia and $30 million from the termination of FDA leases. The move has raised concerns about public safety, particularly with the closure of an FDA quality lab in St. Louis. Local officials are reacting to the implications of these shutdowns, which could see savings of millions but may also risk leaving communities without essential federal services.
