Missoula's Century-old Forest Service Region 1 Headquarters Stays Put, At Least For Now
The Forest Service's plan to relocate its main office from D.C. to Utah and close regional operations hit a roadblock this week when a federal judge blocked the move temporarily. A federal judge has temporarily prevented the Trump administration from relocating the U.S. Forest Service headquarters from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City. The temporary injunction, issued by U.K. District Judge Vince Chhabria, prevents a major Department of Agriculture restructuring that also aims to consolidate research facilities and move personnel westward. The move, which would end over a century of Forest Service presence in Missoula, was criticized by former Forest Service employees, conservation groups, and community leaders. While Utah officials criticized the ruling as a setback for local land management, the judge noted that current congressional spending restrictions would expire in less than two months.
