ST. LOUIS — Two more federal office leases, including a massive government office in the city of St. Louis, have been canceled, an organization working with the federal government said on its website Monday.
The Department of Government Efficiency posted Monday that it canceled a lease for a 52,000-square-foot office of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in St. Louis, with a claimed savings of $19.25 million on the office’s $2.46 million annual lease cost, along with a small federal office in Metro East. The two leases are in addition to the three leases DOGE said were canceled as of last week as part of its ongoing efforts to cut costs at federal agencies.
Although an address wasn't given for the FDA office slated to close, the description and size appear to match an FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at 645 S. Newstead Ave. in the Central West End.
DOGE also slated one of the region's two district offices of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for closure in Fairview Heights.
