Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is moving forward with plans to sell its South Building as part of a broader agency restructuring initiative.
Speaking at a Wednesday press conference, Rollins explained that putting the South Building on the market represents the next step in the USDA’s reorganization strategy, which aims to reduce unnecessary expenses and improve how the department’s staff is distributed.
The Agriculture Secretary indicated that the current state of the South Building demonstrates the need for this change, beginning to describe what visitors would encounter if they entered the facility today.
