"The Bureau of Land Management is moving its headquarters to a building that houses offices for several oil and gas companies operating in Western Colorado, including Chevron USA, Inc., and the local branch of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association.
The headquarters move from Washington, D.C. to Grand Junction, Colo., was a response to calls from members of Congress and agency staff for the Interior Department to dispatch more staff to the West, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said Sept. 21.
“We had trouble at times recruiting our best staff to move to D.C. and be part of the D.C. headquarters,” Bernhardt said, speaking at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colo., the location of the Bureau of Land Management’s new headquarters.
The BLM, part of the Interior Department, announced the Grand Junction, Colo., address, at 760 Horizon Drive, for its headquarters Sept. 20."
