BLM headquarters moving back to D.C. from Colorado
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is moving the national headquarters of the Bureau of Land Management back to the nation’s capital after two years in Colorado.
The land management bureau lost nearly 300 employees to retirement or resignation after its headquarters was moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, in 2019.
Grand Junction will be rechristened the agency’s “western headquarters,” Haaland said in a news release, and “have an important role to play in the bureau’s clean energy, outdoor recreation, conservation, and scientific missions.”
