USDA Selects Raleigh as One of Five Regional Hubs in Major Reorganization
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 25 – The USDA will relocate 2,600 employees to five hubs to cut costs by lowering locality pay and streamline operations, reducing Washington, D.C. staff from 4,600 to 2,000, officials said.
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on Thursday it will relocate about 2,600 employees to five regional hubs, including Raleigh and Indianapolis.
