Office in Green Bay listed as ‘possible target' for ‘lease elimination' by Department of Government Efficiency
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – An office space for the Social Security Administration in Green Bay is reportedly being 'recommended' for lease termination by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The DOGE is a 'temporary contracted organization' that President Donald Trump initiated to cut down on government spending. President Trump also appointed Elon Musk to be in charge of the Department. Study: Wisconsin pays some of the highest property taxes in the United States The official DOGE Government website's savings tab lists numerous locations under its 'Real Estate' table, identifying the agency, location, square footage and value of a building; however, the actual addresses aren't listed. One of the many agencies listed is a Social Security Administration office in Green Bay. The DOGE website does not clarify the address of the Green Bay agency building; however, the only listed Social Security Office in Green Bay, according to the Social Security Administration website, is located at 1561 Dousman Street. Clicking on the DOGE website's listing brings up the following: The listing says that it would be a true termination for consolidation, and could save roughly $131,145, assuming it is a 5-year continuation of the lease. Four northeastern Wisconsin companies named state's 'Manufacturer of the Year' There are also a few other agency buildings in Wisconsin listed as possible or true terminations: Defense Contract Management Agency – National: Merrill (agency closed office) United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Madison (agency closed office) Department of Defense: Milwaukee (move to federal space) This story will be updated if more details on the address or location become available.
