BOSTON – The Biden-Harris Administration announced today that the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2024 includes funding for improvements to the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse and the Thomas P. O’Neill Federal Building in Boston. The Budget details a blueprint to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out, lower costs for families, and more.
The budget proposes investments in the American people that will help lay a stronger foundation for shared growth and prosperity for generations to come.
“The President’s Budget reflects smart investments that will help GSA make cost-saving upgrades to federal buildings, bolster the nation’s cybersecurity, and improve how the government delivers digital services to millions of Americans,” said GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan. “In addition, for the first time ever, the President’s Budget includes a provision that will guarantee full access to the Federal Buildings Fund while preserving Congress’s discretion to decide on and authorize investments – this is a game-changing provision that will enable GSA to modernize and consolidate the federal footprint, saving taxpayers millions and creating good-paying jobs in local communities.”
In New England, the President’s FY2024 budget request for GSA includes:
- John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse | Boston | $126,390,000
This $126.3 million project will improve mechanical, electrical, fire alarm systems, the building envelope, and increase resilience to climate change, replace the roof, and modernize conveyance systems. - Thomas P. O’Neill Federal Building | Boston | $19,317,000
This $19.3 million project will replace the roofing membrane and insulation, refurbish the atrium skylight, and include a personnel roof fall protection system.
“These projects will strengthen public infrastructure, create good jobs, improve sustainability, and address key building infrastructure needs,” said Region 1 Public Buildings Service Commissioner and Acting Regional Administrator Glenn C. Rotondo. “We are excited for the opportunity to improve these facilities and the economic prospects these projects will bring to the region.”
