GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst Marks First 100 Days with Progress on Key Goals

WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is pleased to highlight the milestone accomplishments of Administrator Edward C. Forst’s first 100 days at the helm. Under his leadership, GSA is leading the way as responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, delivering the highest value, savings, and innovation to our partner agencies and the American people.

On Administrator Forst’s first day, he launched Project 410, inspired by the build and completion of New York’s Empire State Building in 1928 in just 410 days. This initiative is bringing a mindset of speed and agility to define GSA’s culture. We are reevaluating our processes, adopting new technology, implementing intelligent risk management, and removing barriers to success.

“Since taking the oath of office to become GSA’s Administrator, I’ve seen firsthand how our world-class team executes for our partner agencies and the American people,” said GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst. “In just 100 days we’ve made tremendous strides delivering on President Trump’s priorities of fortifying the federal real estate portfolio and delivering seamless acquisition services on critical programs and emerging technologies.”

Some of the major milestone accomplishments in Administrator Forst’s first 100 days include:

Real Estate

1. Accelerated property disposals, including:
   • Completed sale of GSA’s former regional office building in Washington, D.C. in 60 days from contract to close, and projected to save $200 million in delinquent maintenance and $5.5 million in annual operating and maintenance costs.
   • Announced the disposal of USDA’s underutilized Ag South property with a projected $1.6 billion in savings.
   • Relocation of the Department of Education and Department of Energy’s headquarters.
   • Additional property sales in Texas, California, and across America, saving taxpayers millions in delinquent maintenance.
2. Opened a new courthouse in Huntsville, Alabama on time and under budget - resulting in $7 million in savings.
