EPA plans to move staffers out of one of the agency’s downtown Washington office locations as part of the Trump administration’s bid to shrink the federal footprint.
EPA intends to “completely move personnel out of the Ronald Reagan building this summer,” Michael Molina, principal deputy assistant administrator at EPA’s Office of Mission Support, told employees in an email.
The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, owned by the General Services Administration, is part of the Federal Triangle campus that also houses EPA’s headquarters, the William Jefferson Clinton Building. The Reagan building in recent years has housed a sizable chunk of EPA staffers, including scientists.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin touted the consolidation Tuesday as a move to save taxpayer dollars. It comes the day after Zeldin announced he had shuttered an EPA museum and as President Donald Trump and his DOGE team are making sweeping cuts to federal spending and the workforce.
