The purpose of industry day is to allow interested parties to ask questions and learn about the building and the GSA auction process.“This event reinforces GSA’s aggressive commitment to repositioning underutilized assets in its real estate portfolio to put them to more productive use” said Tim Sheckler, Director, Real Property Utilization and Disposal Division.

GSA is an economic catalyst for cities and communities across the country. Moving underutilized properties out of the federal inventory allows for local use that may better promote economic growth.
