A list now set contains hundreds of US governmental properties that the General Services Administration (GSA) plans to sell, contains most of a vast, highly sensitive federal complex in Springfield, Virginia, which also contains a mysterious Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) facility.
The GSA’s effort to sell hundreds of US government properties is part of a blunt reform of the federal government and its workforce led by Elon Musk’s so -called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Doge’s efforts, partly manned by young engineers with no previous experience in government, led to the reduction of mass reduction, the effective closure of entirely independent agencies, and a flurry of lawsuits that have been trying to mitigate the government of government over the past six weeks.
The GSA published the list on Tuesday and deducted the next day. Before the full list of 443 properties was removed, more than 120 properties were already silent, including 14 buildings not listed in the inventory of possession and rented properties, an extensive public database of GSA Holdings.
Most of these properties, apart from one identified only as ‘building A, 6810’, were considered ‘Butler’ or ‘Franconia’. According to public records, everyone is part of a large federal facility known as the Parr-Franconia Warehouse complex, or the GSA Warehouse, which sits, fenced with chain connection with barbed wire, at Loisdale Road 6810 in Springfield.
Most of the buildings in the complex, dating back to the early fifties and are dominated by a warehouse of 1 005,602 square meters used for long as a government supply depot, are presumably used by various government agencies for everyday purposes. Right in the middle of the complex, however, next to the warehouse and cat angle to what is listed as headquarters of the safety safety administration, is a U-shaped building that is long notorious for its alleged ties to the CIA.
“Obviously, anyone has done no research on the long and well -documented history of this property,” said Jeff McKay, chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and a long -standing advocate of the redevelopment of the complex, which is near a metro station and sits in a prosperous area. “Normally, a website like this would not say so, but everyone knows it is here except the people who compile this list.”
The CIA’s use of the building in Springfield Center Drive 6801, which cannot all be observed from the street level, was reported for the first time by the Washington Business Journal in 2012, which in an article called the CIA’s presence in the area “perhaps the worst -kept secret in Springfield.” The most specific description of its purpose, as the publication was noted, can be found in the 2011-Spy Agency-focused non-fiction book Fallout: The true story of the CIA’s secret war on core tradeBy Catherine Collins and Douglas Frantz, who write, while describing a clandestine operation: ‘There were two specialists in choosing the agency of the agency’s secret facility in Springfield, Virginia. In a warehouse -like building there, the CIA trains a framework of technical officers to paste offices, breaking in homes and penetrating computer systems. ”(Whether it is currently used for these purposes is unknown.)
