A dozen federal offices are slated for lease termination in Tennessee, including the Social Security Administration (SSA) office in Nashville. The SSA explains: “Most of the leases we are not renewing are for small remote hearing sites that are co-located with other Federal space ... Other offices are non-public facing, being consolidated into nearby locations, or we had planned to close.” Other federal offices targeted for lease terminations in Tennessee include a 135,000 square-foot IRS office in Franklin and a 17,000-square-foot IRS space in Chattanooga; a 1,000-square-foot Department of Homeland Security border patrol field operations office in Chattanooga; an Occupational Health and Safety Office in Nashville; Food and Drug Administration offices in Memphis and Nashville; and a Mine Safety Health and Administration office in Knoxville. Tennessee Lookout has more on the plans.
