Title: Federal Courthouse Construction
Authors: Stephanie Smith, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is the primary federal real property agency, with responsibility for the design, construction, and maintenance of federal buildings and courthouses. The determination for new courthouse construction is based on a five-year assessment of anticipated space requirements compiled by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOC), which is updated and approved each year by the Judicial Conference of the United States. GSA incorporates the ranking of proposed projects into its annual budget request for the authorization and funding of GSA courthouse construction. The President's FY2009 budget requests that $110.3 million remain available until expended for the construction of one new courthouse, and that $163.5 million remain available until expended for repairs to two existing courthouses.
