President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Proposes Investment in Massachusetts Building
BOSTON – The Biden-Harris Administration recently announced that the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2025 includes funding for improvements to the John F. Kennedy Federal Building in Boston.
Following historic progress made since the President took office—with nearly 15 million jobs created and inflation down two-thirds—the Budget protects and builds on this progress by lowering costs for working families, investing in America and the American people, cutting wasteful spending, and reducing the deficit.
The Budget makes critical, targeted investments for the American people that will promote greater prosperity and economic growth for decades to come. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is requesting funds in the FY25 Budget to right size the federal footprint and save billions in taxpayer dollars, strengthen and improve digital services across the government including responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and accelerate sustainability through electric vehicle adoption.
“The President’s Budget reflects critical, targeted investments that will accelerate GSA’s efforts to right-size the real estate portfolio, ensure the secure and effective use of technology across government, and lead the way toward a clean transportation future,” said Administrator Robin Carnahan. “These sound investments will yield big returns for taxpayers – from reducing real estate leasing costs to making smart, efficient use of technology across government.”
In GSA’s New England Region, the President’s FY2025 budget request for GSA includes:
- John F. Kennedy Federal Building | Boston | $24.5 million This fully designed project provides critical system upgrades by replacing conveyance systems in the building, including elevators, escalators, and associated components.
“This project will strengthen public infrastructure, create good jobs, improve sustainability, and address key building infrastructure needs,” Francis Thomas, Regional Administrator for the New England, Northeast and Caribbean Regions, said. “We are excited for the opportunity to improve this facility and the economic prospects this project will bring to the region.”
