Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (MD-4) released the following statement after the GSA announced the renewal of the lease to keep the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics in Hyattsville, MD.  

“GSA’s announcement of a new lease agreement for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics to remain in Hyattsville, MD, was welcome news.  The new lease keeps the Center in Hyattsville for at least the next fifteen years, contributing to the local and state economies.  Not only is this a win for the community, but the agreement will also save taxpayers $29 million by consolidating lease space and allow the building to be renovated and become Energy Star certified.”
