Wartime Agency Exodus Shifts 20 Offices in Washington
The Bureau of Budget drives a mass movement of 20 agencies from central Washington offices to new locations across Philadelphia Richmond Kansas City and San Francisco as part of a wartime decentralization. About 2 million square feet of office space will be freed while 6700 workers have moved and 2100 Treasury staff plus 2000 Veterans Administration clerks are relocated with others soon following. The plan aims to reduce crowding and streamline staffing though nearly half of employees have yet to decide on decamping with the rest to be reassigned to new agency posts. The operation marks the largest truck deployment yet in the capital as families and workers adjust to the shift.
