The General Services Administration (GSA) plans to relocate over 4,000 federal employees from Cleveland’s Anthony J. Celebrezze (AJC) Federal Building within three years. The building, currently housing 30 federal agencies, has a $175 million repair backlog, prompting the GSA to seek a more cost-effective solution. The 1.2-million-square-foot building will be vacated, closed, and likely offered for sale to local governments. While the GSA is committed to maintaining federal services in downtown Cleveland, they have already pursued new leases for the displaced agencies. Local officials, including Congresswoman Shontel Brown and Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, have expressed concerns about the move’s impact on the federal workforce and the downtown economy.
