Oklahoma City Federal Building's future uncertain as government reassesses properties

The Trump administration has removed a list of more than 400 federal properties considered for sale or closure from a government website.

Among the properties flagged for potential disposal was the Oklahoma City Federal Building. While it remains unclear why the list was taken down, the General Services Administration (GSA) has indicated that a revised version will be published.

Federal Building Listed as Non-Core Asset

On Tuesday, the GSA initially identified approximately 440 properties across the country as "non-core" to government operations. According to the GSA, the Oklahoma City Federal Building houses about 300 federal employees.

The administration’s reasoning for the list was to highlight underutilized federal office spaces. The goal, according to officials, was to ensure taxpayers no longer bear the cost of maintaining empty or underutilized buildings.

A Symbol of Strength and Resilience

The Oklahoma City Federal Building was constructed as a tribute to resilience and strength following the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which killed 168 people. The structure was intended to house many of the agencies displaced by the attack.
