Relocating Federal Agency Headquarters Outside Washington D.C.

This act mandates the relocation of most federal agency headquarters outside the Washington metropolitan area. The goal is to distribute federal jobs and investments to other states, potentially impacting local economies and job markets nationwide. Citizens might see new employment opportunities and infrastructure development in cities where agencies relocate.
Key points
Most federal agencies will be required to move their main headquarters out of Washington, D.C. and surrounding counties.
New locations will be chosen through a competitive bidding process, allowing states and local governments to submit proposals.
Relocations could create new jobs and stimulate economic growth in regions outside the capital.
Existing headquarters in Washington will not be allowed major renovations or lease renewals, forcing future relocation.
