The U.S. General Services Administration has proposed an unusual solution to a costly federal facilities problem in downtown Los Angeles.
Under the plan, which GSA Acting Administrator Daniel Tangherlini outlined in a June 22 letter to members of California's congressional delegation, GSA will seek a private development firm to which it will transfer the New Deal-era North Spring Street federal courthouse. If GSA were to keep the building for federal use, it would need a $250-million overhaul.
