As Erin Prater writes for the
They should locate it at the new Ammon Bundy Federal Center
I don't think there's been a certificate of occupation issued for that site yet.
Maybe Las Vegas? Convert that gawd-awful Trump Tower (built with Chinese steel) into a legitimate whore house? 85% of Nevada is already owned by the gummit and it isn't as though Drumpf is shy about lining his pockets thanks to the largess of the American taxpayer.
If it moves West, a big if, Denver or Salt Lake City are more likely candidates. We know Tipton has no clout.
The most natural location would be in Lakewood with the bulk of the federal installation, but Gardner and Bennet have both been pushing for Grand Junction, as has Tipton. Others, like Perlmutter and Polis have been more general-Colorado, IIRC.
Nothing says Republican like making things more expensive to operate. Look at the new embassy in Israel. This looks like one of those sucker punches where they move someplace with lots of Republican construction companies and then after the government has been ripped off on the construction costs, the Repubs will maintain that it is too expensive to run an organization that remote so they will have to shut it down. Precursor to drowning the baby is paying for the talcum powder at the highest prices.
They are coming to Grand Junction, I predict.
They want to be near their new world-class, taxpayer supported, shooting and education center. And removed from big cities full of liberals. Lots of reasons for GJ and Mesa County to prevail. This will have little to do with anything but personal politics and industry connections.
I dunno, Duke. Who's going to break it to Interior that broadband in Mesa County sucks? I'm sure appropriate connections will be made at whatever site for a BLM hq is selected, but home connections for BLM employees will be the same as ours. Iffy and expensive.
And how much of the BLM budget goes to travel? Ever tried to book a ticket in or out of Grand Junction?
If it comes West, which isn't a bad idea, I think there ought to be consideration of having a built-in population of people trained in agriculture and ecology — majors that are not prominent at Colorado Mesa University
Just curious if you are on their advisory board JID? I will bet they didn't seek your advice. You guys keep applying rationality and logical thinking to the process….
Think about it….😝
Only people who work for government (at any level) or well-heeled businesses fly out of Grand Junction. The rest of us drive to Denver or Salt Lake and fly from there, unless it's a dire family emergency.
