The leases for five federal agency buildings in the Cincinnati area have been terminated, according to the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) “wall of receipts.”
DOGE’s website displays a list of 748 terminated leases across the country.
Four of the lease terminations involve agency buildings in Cincinnati. Another is in Fairfield, as indicated by the DOGE chart.
| Main Agency | Location | Annual Lease Cost | Total Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bureau of Prisons | Cincinnati | $75,739 | $30,295 |
| Office of Labor Managment Standards | Cincinnati | $102,456 | $145,145 |
| Railroad Retirement Board | Cincinnati | $31,416 | $0 |
| Small Business Administration | Cincinnati | $49,014 | $32,676 |
| National Archives Center | Fairfield | $478,213 | $39,851 |
The total savings from terminating the five local leases listed above is $247,967.
DOGE says the lease for the Bureau of Prisons’ Cincinnati Residential Reentry Management (RRM) field office expires on June 30.
FOX19 NOW contacted the Bureau of Prisons to determine whether the RRM office would be relocated to a new building or closed entirely.
Their Office of Public Affairs stated, “We do not have any additional information to provide beyond what is publicly available.”
Shannon Wicks from the Bureau of Prisons stated, “At this time, we are unaware of any additional information.”
There is no lease termination date for the Office of Labor Management Standards, the Small Business Administration, or the Railroad Retirement Board.
These three are labeled as “termination via mass mod.” DOGE’s website does not explain what this means.
According to the National Archives Center in Fairfield, their lease is a “true termination” and the “agency closed office.”
DOGE reports that lease terminations save a total of $468 million nationwide.
