CR Means Problems for DHS HQ, GSA

September 25, 2012

The planned headquarters campus for the Department of Homeland Security in Southeast Washington appears likely to be sidelined yet again.

The continuing resolution, which Congress approved Saturday, extends budget cuts that have delayed the project by more than five years.

The president’s 2013 budget requested $89 million in the DHS budget for the nearly $4 billion project.

But the passage of the continuing resolution will mean DHS gets only $56 million for the project for fiscal 2013.
