Washington, D.C. - Representative David Price (NC-04) released the following statement today regarding the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) decision to cancel a planned lease of new office space for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Cary. One of the few options being considered was a former Kroger supermarket off Highway 55, which had elicited many concerns from among Cary residents. GSA will now re-start the lease procurement process and consider other options for the ICE facility.

"I think GSA has made the right decision to cancel this move and to reopen the consideration of lease options. It's important that the Town of Cary and local residents be fully included in any decision about the location of a law enforcement facility of such a significant size in their community. I was glad to help bring the federal agencies together with the Town of Cary to ensure that all views and options were considered before a decision was made."
