President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Proposes Investments in Union Station Courthouse

TACOMA, Wash. - The Biden-Harris Administration today announced that the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2024 includes investments in the Union Station U.S. Courthouse in Tacoma, Wash. The Budget details a blueprint to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out, lower costs for families, and more. 
 
The Budget proposes critical investments in the American people that will help lay a stronger foundation for shared growth and prosperity for generations to come.

“The President’s Budget reflects smart investments that will help GSA make cost-saving upgrades to federal buildings, bolster the nation’s cybersecurity, and improve how the government delivers digital services to millions of Americans,” said GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan. “In addition, for the first time ever, the President’s Budget includes a provision that will guarantee full access to the Federal Buildings Fund while preserving Congress’s discretion to decide on and authorize investments - this is a game-changing provision that will enable GSA to modernize and consolidate the federal footprint, saving taxpayers millions and creating good-paying jobs in local communities.” 

In the Pacific Northwest, the President’s FY2024 budget request for GSA includes:

Union Station U.S. Courthouse | Tacoma, Wash. | $79,256,000
This project upgrades major building systems, including the electrical, life safety, roofing and HVAC. It also includes security and seismic upgrades to ensure the iconic Tacoma property remains a cornerstone of the downtown district. 

“Union Station has served as a community hub in Tacoma for generations,” said Sukhee Kang, Northwest/Arctic Regional Administrator. “Investing in the property will create good jobs, improve sustainability, and address key building infrastructure needs, which will ensure Union Station remains a safe and secure home for the U.S. District Courts and for the community at large for generations to come.”
