Action: Executive Order “Restoring Common Sense to Federal Office Space Management” What it does: The Administration has issued an Executive Order revoking two Orders issued by Presidents Carter and Clinton regarding the location of Federal offices. President Carter signed Executive Order 12072 in 1978 directing the Federal government to prioritize central business districts when siting facilities in urban areas. Building off of President Carter’s order, President Clinton signed Executive Order 13006 in 1996 to encourage Federal agencies to locate their facilities in historic properties and districts, particularly in central business areas. The Administration contends that the revoked Orders “failed to adequately prioritize efficient and effective Government service” and moving Executive departments and agencies to “where people are” will promote high quality, efficient, and cost-effective services.Key Insights
