Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Army Corps of Engineers' transfers to municipal ownership of three townsites it constructed while working on two dam projects, focusing on whether the Army: (1) properly maintained the townsites' public facilities prior to the transfer; (2) was responsible for maintenance of a school at one of the townsites; and (3) was liable for repairing the townsites' public facilities or the school.
