After a visit to the Grand Junction, Colorado headquarters of the Bureau of Land Management, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said she has yet to decide whether to return them to Washington, D.C.

Friday’s visit was her first to the new Colorado headquarters following its relocation from D-C in 20219.

 

Haaland said one of her first goals was to consider the well-being of the agency as she thinks about the future of its headquarters, the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported.
