Federal Agency Decentralization: Relocating Headquarters Outside Washington D.C.
This Act mandates that most federal executive agencies must relocate their headquarters outside the Washington metropolitan area by 2028. The goal is to maximize cost savings and decentralize government operations. For citizens, this means federal services and administrative jobs will be dispersed across the country, potentially boosting local economies outside the capital region and increasing accessibility.
Key points
Most federal agencies must submit a plan to relocate their headquarters outside Washington D.C. by September 2024.
The relocation must be implemented by September 2028, with no more than 10% of agency employees remaining in the Washington area.
The change aims to reduce government operating costs and shift federal jobs to various regions across the United States.
