Executive Order 14274

Restoring Common Sense to Federal Office Space Management

This order revokes two prior executive orders (Carter's EO 12072 and Clinton's EO 13006) that required federal agencies to prioritize central business districts and historic properties when locating offices. It directs GSA to amend related regulations, aiming to allow agencies to choose more cost-effective facilities and better serve dispersed populations.
