I imagine a savvy and well connected buyer could persuade the feds either to pay for demolition and clearing of existing facilities or to subsidize upkeep. All of this in exchange for this favor or that permission, etc. Shit, I bet there are developers connected enough to lease or buy from Agency A and lease or sublease facilities to Agency B, creating an arbitrage opportunity. Mark my words: the gov will end up, on a net basis, paying some rich guy to take this off their hands.
