With millions of square feet of expensive leased space in the Los Angeles area, we need to continue to shrink and consolidate the federal footprint. Yesterday’s announcement that the agency is moving forward on disposing the Spring Street C...ourthouse is one more step toward ridding the federal government of unneeded property.
