Locate new owned and leased federal facilities in places that support local plans;

Design new facilities to create outstanding federal workplaces and support neighborhood urban design goals;

Renovate existing federal properties to improve their public spaces, create positive First Impressions, and encourage stakeholders to improve neighborhood conditions;

Manage federal properties to encourage public use and openness; and
