Fed government slashing downtown jobs and buildings. What's next?

[heights unknown]

Yikes! The quiet part is now ear-bleedingly loud

The administration also said it was seeking to offload federal buildings bearing the names of civil rights icons Martin Luther King Jr. in Atlanta and Rosa Parks in Detroit, and the Montgomery, Alabama, bus station that was pivotal in the civil rights movement and now serves as the Freedom Rides Museum.

I respect the naming and all, and I am a black man, but...there are a lot of more important things to really worry about. However, if this all keeps up, look for civil war not too far away in our future on the horizon. It's best to just let things alone; and from me this goes for all races that want things changed, removed, etc. Let our history be our history and speak for itself, be it monuments, museums or whatever; none of it offends me. Sometimes when I read stuff like this the word "revenge" comes to mind. Back on topic, I think they, the Feds/government, should just leave all of these districts, federal buildings, etc. alone. Look for cuts in other areas where they (or someone) thinks that there's rampant, glaring, and staunchly evident fraud, waste, abuse, etc.

GSA has revoked the termination of USACE's lease at 701 San Marco. Looks like they are staying put (for now).

A quick survey of the local news sites - WJXT, First Coast News, Action News, WJCT, Times-Union - does not show anything on this story.

Apparently there was a no termination clause in the lease and the building owner filed a lawsuit.

I have no source either, but for what it's worth, I did hear the same thing from someone at USACE over the weekend at an event in Orlando. Hoping it's true. That said, would be shocked if anyone really knew what was happening from day-to-day in Washington right now.

My source is the commander, COL Bowman, who sent out an email to all employees this weekend.

Thanks, bg904, the local news websites still haven't picked up this story.

Per my comment below earlier in this thread, this is no surprise.  A lease is a contract to be legally enforceable unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.  The only out I could imagine would be one that provided for substantial penalties to make up for an early cancellation.  If such exist here, I would expect they would be onerous enough to discourage breaking the lease early.  The only other possible out I could see is if the tenant went into bankruptcy.  At the rate Trump is destroying our government and economy, that unimaginable outcome may not be off the table at some point  .

I also wonder, for leased spaces like that used by the Army Corps, how the government can arbitrarily break long term leases without paying significant penalties/damages.
