This sounds like a plan that the US would do well to emulate. Get the concentration of government out of DC, spread agencies around, get more government employees living and working among the citizens whom they are supposed to be serving—seems like a winning proposition to me.

Actually, during the 1950s (cold-war peak), Congress actually passed a law requiring the decentralization of federal agency headquarters to cities throughout the country! Naturally..., nothing ever happened, in fact, the law may still be on the books!

Alaska passed a law requiring their Capitol to be moved from Juneau to Anchorage years ago (Juneau can only be reached by sea/air), nothing ever happened!

Still waiting for the weather to clear.

Regarding moving the AK Capital, there were six referendums. The issue boiled down to money. It would cost in the billions to relocate and build new facilities, and state residents wouldn’t go for that.
