A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office lease in Alabama was canceled earlier this month by the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office in Fairhope had its lease terminated on March 3, according to DOGE’s website.

The website says the lease cancellation will save $707,922 as the annual cost for the property was listed at $176,859.

The lease termination was conducted as part of what DOGE claims is an attempt to save taxpayer money by eliminating excess federal spending.

However, critics have argued that DOGE’s actions, spearheaded by Elon Musk, are fueled by political ideology rather than cost-saving.

AL.com contacted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the lease termination and if it will or already has resulted in layoffs.

The agency has not responded as of this publication.

Since March, DOGE has reportedly cancelled 15 building leases in Alabama saving about $3,472,138.
