Relocating SBA Employees Outside Washington and Reducing Office Space
This act mandates the Small Business Administration (SBA) to relocate at least 30% of its headquarters employees outside the Washington metropolitan area to reduce costs and improve regional customer service. This means more SBA services will be available locally, and taxpayer money may be used more efficiently. The changes will impact the accessibility of support for small businesses across the country.
