Just as Joe Biden apparently will take the oath of office to become the next President of the United States, the Bureau of Land Management will be making its headquarters in Grand Junction, Colorado.
The agency’s lease on its current headquarters building in Washington DC expires at the end of this month. The move, fought by some BLM employees who didn’t want to leave the confines of the capitol was proposed by the Trump administration in 2017.
The BLM is the agency that makes oil and gas decisions about Oklahoma’s Osage County, land also under control of the Osage Indian tribe.
The merits of the headquarters move are still being debated, even by ranchers who lease public lands.
