ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claims it has terminated the lease of another St. Louis-area federal field office.

According to DOGE’s “Wall of Receipts,” a 51,963 sq. ft. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) field office in St. Louis has been shuttered as a result of a lease termination. DOGE claims that this is saving $2,457,367 annually, $19,249,372 over the lifetime of the lease.

First Alert 4 has reached out to the FDA to learn how many employees worked at this facility as well as how many jobs are impacted, if any. The FDA has several field offices in the area - neither DOGE nor the FDA have clarified which office is affected.

The total alleged savings from these lease terminations are about $425,000, $240,000 and $337,219. respectively.

“DCSA is aware of the reporting on an office closing in St. Louis. DCSA has two field offices in the greater St Louis area. Over a year ago the Lessor for one of the offices informed GSA that they wouldn’t renew the Government lease and that it would expire in December 2025. DCSA began market research for new space in 2024. Once a site is identified, DCSA will consolidate its two field offices into a single location under a new lease. Personnel from the location with the lease that is ending will work out of the second office on an interim basis. DCSA has a workforce of 16 in the St. Louis area. DCSA has an ongoing effort to consolidate office space as leases end.”

DCSA stated its 16 St. Louis-area employees would not be impacted by the lease termination.

Monday, an about 3,000 sq. ft. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) office in Fairview Heights was listed for lease termination, as well.

First Alert 4 reached out to OSHA but has not yet heard back.
