The White House’s fiscal 2014 budget would allow GSA to use incoming rent funds to undertake repairs and maintenance of public buildings as well as add inventory considered critical, something GSA has said would help compensate for $4 billion in foregone capital improvements.
The budget would permit GSA to invest $1.3 billion in repairs and maintenance in addition to $379 in basic repairs.
By investing in our public buildings, a smaller federal footprint and improved border crossing stations, GSA will not only create savings for the American people, but also assist in providing them with the most efficient and effective government possible," said GSA acting administrator Dan Tangherlini.
The budget includes $800 million for eight constructions projects including the DHS headquarters consolidation, $100 million for agency consolidation in existing federally owned space throughout the country, and two border crossing and inspection projects.
