The Shapiro Administration marked another milestone in its ongoing work to modernize state workplaces and improve efficiency across government operations as the Department of General Services (DGS) Deputy Secretary Cathy Califano, and State Inspector General Michelle Henry unveiled the Office of State Inspector General (OSIG)'s newly renovated workspace at Forum Place.The renovation is part of the Shapiro Administration's Space Optimization and Utilization Project (SOUP), a broader workplace modernization strategy led by DGS to optimize the Commonwealth's real estate portfolio, reduce inefficiencies, and reinvest in high-quality, right-sized office environments for employees returning to in-person work. By 2033, SOUP is expected to generate savings across state government of more than $180 million in lease costs."This is exactly what smart government looks like, making strategic investments that improve how we work while being responsible stewards of taxpayer resources," said DGS Secretary Reggie McNeil. "By rethinking how space is used and modernizing key facilities, we're delivering better outcomes for agencies and the people they serve."SPEAKERS LISTState Inspector General Michelle Henry, Office of State Inspector GeneralCatherine Califano, Deputy Secretary of Administration and Real Estate Services
