An independent board created by Congress says agencies faces a unique opportunity to offload some of their excess space, if it's true that hybrid work is here to stay. But the General Services Administration says it needs more money from Congress to consolidate federal office space. Federal News Network’s Jory Heckman has the latest. Learn more about

Pretty much every lawyer, lobbyist, rule-maker, think-tanker and wonk in Washington and beyond has been thinking about the same thing.

For more on the race to shed the paper and what happens next, Federal News Network’s Justin Doubleday, spoke to NARA’s director of records management policy and outreach, Lisa Haralampus. Learn more
