A federal official recently referenced a local facility while commenting on government waste.
Presidential advisor Elon Musk was speaking about efforts to downsize the federal government in the Oval Office when he referenced a limestone mine that stores federal retirement paperwork.
That mine is Iron Mountain’s facility in Boyers which is utilized by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to process the retirement of federal workers.
According to a post by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, over 700 workers process 10,000 retirement applications per month.
The federal government is just one of thousands of clients who store documents and historic artifacts underground at Iron Mountain.
