Littleton SSA Office Under Threat as Federal Agency Targets Cost Savings

LITTLETON — The Social Security Administration office on Main Street could be on the chopping block. This week, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) released a list of 320 federal properties deemed “not core to government operations,” which includes the Littleton SSA office. According to a statement from the GSA, the agency plans to shut down or sell non-core assets to reduce costs. The GSA estimates this could save taxpayers more than $430 million annually by eliminating expenses linked to underutilized federal office space and long-term building maintenance. Littleton Town Manager Troy Brown stated that the federal government has not formally notified him about the possible sale of the Social Security office. However, he raised concerns about the impact on residents. GSA spokesperson Paul Hughes explained that the effort to sell or close non-core properties is part of a broader cost-cutting initiative by the Trump Administration. He emphasized that being on the list does not mean a property is immediately for sale.
