The General Service Division is finding it difficult to properly maintain state facilities because the Department of Administration purchases properties with little concern of the financial implications.

The objectives of this update are to determine to what extent the DOA responded to the eight recommendations made in the September 2015 PERD report on the GSD, and to assess the agency’s overall financial condition as of fiscal year 2021. PERD found that while the GSD is moving in the right direction, and its financial situation is improving, the legislative auditor anticipates the GSD will be under financial stress for several years, unless there are significant increases in lottery revenues, or state appropriated funds.
