The Trump administration on Wednesday deleted a list of hundreds of federally owned buildings the government deemed it could “dispose of” from the website of the General Services Administration.

The GSA, the government’s real estate arm, posted the list Tuesday of more than 440 federal properties across the country to close or sell, including dozens in Maryland.

Later Tuesday, a revised list featured only 320 entries. By Wednesday morning, the list was completely gone, and the page read “Non-core property list (Coming soon).”

The initial version of the list identified 83 properties in Maryland, including four Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services buildings in Woodlawn, U.S. Food and Drug Administration offices in Silver Spring, a NOAA Satellite Operations facility in Suitland and the U.S. Custom House in Baltimore. The revised list included 21 properties in Maryland.

It’s unclear why the list was taken down and what that means for the properties initially included. The GSA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

President Donald Trump has undertaken a sweeping effort to downsize the federal government, including laying off thousands of workers and freezing federal funds. Eliminating federal office space has also been a top priority of his administration. According to the GSA website, the administration is identifying buildings and facilities that are vacant, “underutilized,” or “not core to government operations” to sell.

Below is the list of 83 properties initially included, with the 21 included in the revised list highlighted in bold.
