Obama Administration Expands List of Excess Properties

WASHINGTON, DC-The Obama Administration is adding more federal properties to the list of 14,000 buildings it has already identified as excess and available to be sold to the private sector. Among the local properties to be included is a heating plant in Georgetown that hasn’t been used for ten years and a office building in Downtown Baltimore.

It is unclear how many more buildings will be added, although according to reports the additional properties are spread nationwide. “It looks like the government is shaking the tree a bit harder so a few more apples fall out,” Art Turowski, senior vice president at Jones Lang LaSalle, tells GlobeSt.com.  “It is becoming a pretty extensive list.”
