From WPR:

Earlier this year, the initiative formerly led by billionaire Elon Musk terminated leases for at least 16 offices in the state. The cancellations affected office space for agencies like the Social Security Administration, Defense Contract Management Agency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service among others.

But some of those terminations have since been revoked. One of those is the Bureau of Indian Affairs office in Ashland. In February, the U.S. General Services Administration, or GSA, notified the office’s owner, Tanenbaum Equity Partners, that its lease would end this month. Bill Broydrick, a consultant representing the building’s owner, said the federal government revoked the lease termination for the office leased by Tanenbaum subsidiary RTD Ashland-BIA, LLC.

“The council of all of the Native tribes in Wisconsin put together a resolution of opposition to closing the office, which is used by the tribes for a lot of services,” Broydrick said. “On that basis, the decision was made by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to keep the office open.”
