GSA Sells Excess Federal Property in Arden Hills, Minnesota
Sale of the former U.S. Army manufacturing site reduces federal footprint
ARDEN HILLS, Minn. — Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the completion of a $3.58 million auction of the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in Arden Hills, Minnesota. The sale marks a strategic step in ongoing efforts by GSA to eliminate liabilities and cut costs for the American taxpayer.
“GSA continues to deliver on President Trump’s directive to reduce waste and fortify the federal portfolio,” said GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst. “This sale will save taxpayers approximately $3 million and create economic opportunity for the region.”
Completed in 1942 for WWII ammunition production, the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant operated for five decades, supporting various military and commercial uses. The Army, working closely with the EPA, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, restored the property to meet required state and national environmental standards.
The disposal of this 62-acre property containing obsolete infrastructure eliminates a significant burden from the federal inventory.
In addition to the sale of this property, GSA has listed other buildings for potential disposal to ensure taxpayers no longer pay for underutilized federal office space. GSA projects that the sale of these buildings will eliminate $5 billion in delinquent maintenance and annual operating costs.
GSA remains committed to solving long-term problems that exist in the federal portfolio of assets, reducing waste, and delivering long-term value to the American people.
