GSA Downsizing -

 A Perfect Storm Looming

Thursday, February 23, 2012

 The National Press Club

7:30-8:30 AM Registration & Networking

8:30-10:30 AM Program

 

As the federal government grapples with debt ceilings and debt reduction, and the Obama administration has ordered agencies to minimize their costs, what will be the impact of GSA cost cutting initiatives on our local real estate and construction industries?   What will be the effects on job growth, relocation of agencies, such as DHS, renewals of GSA leases, GSA sustainable initiatives, and the overall vacancy rates. With the private sector demand remaining flat, will GSA's cutbacks create a "perfect storm" in the DC market?
