Something tells me you've never leased office space... Easily 1k-5k of operational costs for even a small space that would be largely avoidable if held vacant. *Especially* for something like a public office. Hell just the insurance savings could be over $200 a month

I own a 9 unit commercial complex, my own 5k sqft building, and run own a biz condo in a complex. Lol, but ok.
Where the hell is this where you think $200 a month is probable?! (Rhetorical not asking you to dox)
Something tells me you run a much tighter ship than the federal government... They are absolutely saving more than $200 a month by closing an office... 2.5k seems completely reasonable and that's just if the only saving are from reduction of operational expense.
But I guess we'll never know. I completely understand why you can't share it, but wish you could. Super curious now
The building will be used for storage. Employees will still come and go. Insurance savings will be minimal, but some.
Trash is forced fixed cost as is water/sewer in the complex.
Electricity will be cut down to minimal cost, however they didn't have high use previously as their is a landlord credit given with the lease. Some savings here.
For sure the internet bill is gone.
I am completely ballparking as I do not have access to their insurance, full electric, or internet cost.
If I am wrong, ok.
Gotta go. Peace.
