Trump administration wants to sell major federal buildings in Boston and beyond

The Trump administration listed this week scores of federal buildings in Boston and around the country that could be up for sale, calling them "not core to government operations."

As of Wednesday morning, however, the government's list of nine Massachusetts buildings flagged for "disposal" has been removed and replaced with a note on the webpage that reads "coming soon."

Among the locations singled out earlier was the JFK Federal Building in downtown Boston, a major edifice that houses offices of the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the IRS and the local offices of U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey.

Others that made the list were the Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. Federal Building in Boston and the IRS Center in Andover, as well as buildings in Cambridge, New Bedford, Fall River and Pittsfield.

The U.S. General Services Administration website says selling the 443 properties listed in states across the country would "eliminate costly maintenance" and allow the government to "reinvest in high-quality work environments that support agency missions."

The website also implies the buildings are "vacant or underutilized federal spaces."

In a statement, Sen. Warren said, “This plan raises serious concerns. Which Trump-friendly billionaires could profit from the sale of these federal assets while working people spend more time and money to access critical services no longer in their communities?”

A request for comment to the GSA was not immediately returned.
