"When the Bureau of Land Management moves its Washington-based headquarters to Grand Junction, Colo., this year, more than half of the senior leaders may be as new as the office itself.
At least 14 positions — more than half the estimated 27 positions BLM says will occupy the Grand Junction headquarters — are technically vacant and have not been permanently filled, according to data compiled by numerous sources. BLM in the past few months has been scurrying to fill these positions, formally advertising them on USAJobs.
What's more, dozens of other mostly senior-level positions that are set to move to bureau state offices across the West have not been permanently filled, according to sources and the publicly available information. BLM has moved aggressively in the past couple of months to start transferring about 153 D.C.-based staffers to Grand Junction and other state offices by late spring if possible."
