A list now deleted containing Hundreds of properties of the US government The fact that the General Services Administration (GSA) plans to sell includes most of a sprawling federal complex and very sensitive to Springfield, Virginia, which also houses a secret installation of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Wired learned.
GSA’s efforts to sell hundreds of properties from the United States government are part of a blunt reshaping of the federal government and its workforce led by the so-called Ministry of Elon Musk Government (DOGE). Staff partly by young engineers without prerequisite experience governmentDoge’s efforts have resulted in Force reductions in strengththe effectiveness Close fully independent agenciesand a Flurry of prosecution who seek to alleviate the government’s doge shaving over the past six weeks.
The GSA published the list on Tuesday and lowered it the next day. Before the complete list of 443 properties was deleted, more than 120 properties had already been discreet, of which 14 buildings which did not seem to be listed in the inventory of belonging and rented properties, a complete public database of GSA Holdings.
Most of these properties, apart from only one identified as “Building A, 6810”, have been described as “butler” or “Franconia”. According to the public archives, all are part of a large federal installation known as Parr-Franconia Warehouse Complex, or the GSA warehouse, which is closed by a chain link topped with barbed wire, at 6810 Loisdale Road in Springfield.
Most buildings of the complex, which date back to the early 1950s and were dominated by a warehouse of 1,005,602 square feet for a long time as a government supply deposit, would be used by various government agencies for banal purposes. In the middle of the complex, however, alongside the warehouse and the categorical cornin to what is listed as the seat of the transportation of Security Administration, there is a building in the form of a U for long for its alleged links with the CIA.
“Obviously, someone has done no research on the long and well documented history of this property,” explains Jeff McKay, president of the Comté de Fairfax supervisors and longtime defender of the redevelopment of the complex, which is near a metro station and is in a prosperous area. “Normally, a site like this would not have come out, so to speak, but everyone knows that it is here except, apparently, people who wrote this list.”
The use by the CIA of the building located at 6801 Springfield Center Drive, which cannot necessarily be observed at the street level, reported for the first time In 2012 by the Washington Business Journal, which in an article about the same time called The presence of the CIA in the region “perhaps the greatest secrecy of Springfield”. The most specific description of its objective, as noted by the publication, is in the non-fiction book focused on the 2011 agency Fallout: the true story of the CIA secret war against nuclear traffickingby Catherine Collins and Douglas Frantz, who to writeWhile describing a clandestine operation: “There were two specialists in Pick-And-To-To-To-Rélillage of the Agency’s secret facilities in Springfield, Virginia. In a building similar to a warehouse there, the CIA forms a group of technical agents to face offices, enter the houses and penetrate computer systems. (We do not know if it is currently used for these purposes.)
