By: FEDweek StaffThe Biden administration’s budget proposal contains several provisions that will facilitate improvements in federal buildings, the GSA has said.
“For the first time ever, the president’s budget includes a provision that will guarantee full access to the Federal Buildings Fund while preserving Congress’s discretion to decide on and authorize investments — this is a game-changing provision that will enable GSA to modernize and consolidate the federal footprint,” it said in a statement.
It said the budget includes $11.1 billion in budget authority for the Federal Buildings Fund to “reduce the growing backlog of critical repairs and renovations, enhance sustainability, reduce long term costs, and create jobs in local communities” and will allow for the GSA to continue reducing the government’s reliance on leased space.
Allowing GSA full access to the annual revenues deposited in the fund “will help GSA address its backlog in deferred maintenance and consolidate leases into federally-owned facilities, resulting in savings through reduced lease payments.”
The announcement also called attention to a proposed $200 million for the Technology Modernization Fund, a central fund designed to provide upfront money for major IT projects to replace legacy systems and $90 million for the Federal Citizen Services Fund to support modernization and adoption of digital services.
