National Science Foundation will stay in Carlyle, retaining hundreds of jobs

401 Dulany Street in Alexandria's Carlyle neighborhood (via Google Maps)

The National Science Foundation (NSF) will remain in Carlyle, after it announced an official search for office space last summer. ... Through NSF’s decision, Alexandria will retain 1,600 NSF federal employees and scientist jobs, the city announced in a release Friday evening. Local officials intend to work with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and property owner LCOR Inc. “over the coming months” to ensure a smooth transition.

NSF, which moved to Alexandria in 2017, was displaced from its 2415 Eisenhower Avenue headquarters after the Trump administration announced in June that it would be overtaken by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The agency’s new location in the Edmund Randolph building at 401 Dulany Street is adjacent to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The NSF is only one of MANY institutions of intellectual heft and import that are going to bleed out due to the love affair of the press and the dumbest 35% of the population with the axiom that their idiotic hunches and guesses and beliefs are equal to scientific method results, peer review and the essential search for more understanding.

Jesus wept. (indeed)
