Portman, Johnson Push GSA to Speed Up Sale of Excess Federal Property in Washington Co.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – August 2, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Representative Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) have co-authored a letter to the General Services Administration (GSA) in an effort to speed up the sale of an abandoned federal property to the Southeast Ohio Port Authority (SEOPA). The move will allow the Port Authority to sell the property to private investors, which would convert the unused property into a veterans memorial and business park, which would provide a community benefit and create much-needed jobs
