USDA Plans Major Reorganization to Bring Staff Closer to Farmers
Originally Published 5 months ago — by Federal News Network
The USDA plans to relocate over half of its Washington, D.C. workforce to regional hubs across the U.S. as part of a reorganization aimed at reducing costs and bringing services closer to communities, while allowing over 15,000 employees to leave through early retirement or resignation offers. The move will impact about 4,600 employees in D.C., with a phased approach and efforts to minimize disruption, and will include vacating some underutilized buildings.
