KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The Trump istration on Tuesday published a list of more than 440 federal properties it had identified to close or sell, including the FBI headquarters and the main Department of Justice building, after deeming them “not core to government operations.”

Hours later, however, the istration issued a revised list with only 320 entries — none in Washington, D.C. And by Wednesday morning, the list was gone entirely. “Non-core property list (Coming soon)” the page read.

The initial list had included the following buildings in the Kansas City area:

Name City State Space (sq ft)
2306 E. Bannister Road Kansas City MO 405,607
2312 E. Bannister Road Kansas City MO 149,967
Richard Bolling Federal Building Kansas City MO 1,017,985
Social Security - KCK Kansas City KS 13,815

The Richard Bolling Federal Building in downtown Kansas City houses the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Social Security istration.

The 2306-2312 E. Bannister sites have a U.S. Marine Corps IT center, a RAPIDS ID Card Office for the Department of Defense, the Central Regional Compliance Office for the USDA and the Kansas City South Field Office for the U.S. General Services istration.

“We are identifying buildings and facilities that are not core to government operations, or non-core properties for disposal,” the GSA said of the initial list of 443 properties. Selling the properties “ensures that taxpayer dollars are no longer spent on vacant or underutilized federal space,” it said, and “helps eliminate costly maintenance and allows us to reinvest in high-quality work environments that agency missions.”
