Congress, Budgets, and Real Property: What’s In Store?
If we’ve learned anything as a profession over the past several months, it’s that we will all be held more accountable by government to right-size the federal real property inventory, whether the budget to do so exists or not. We simply cannot defer maintenance on mission-critical assets – especially if we are spending money on unneeded land and buildings. VISTA President and CEO David Baxa summarizes the top headlines from this issue of “Managing Change.”

Are Walter Reed’s Problems Really Government-Wide?
Mainstream media link the recent problems at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to a flawed US Army. The reality, however, is both simpler and somewhat more concerning.
By keeping more land and buildings than are needed to fulfill their missions, government agencies actually end up with less money to maintain their entire inventory properly. What’s more, some “white elephants” in the inventory may be maintained at the expense of mission-critical facilities, sapping resources and driving up operating costs. VISTA VP of Corporate Development Ray Summerell looks at the connection between surplus federal real property and ongoing reporting on Walter Reed.
