USDA was relocated to KC, but then Biden sort of undid that, as I understand it. I think Department of the Interior may have been the other one, but I don't remember where it went. Denver, maybe.
The point is mostly to put them in minor or mid-metros, because those are so much cheaper, but still have sufficient office space to accommodate the move. If there's some sort of mission overlap with an area, may as well take advantage of that.
One that came to mind was St. Louis for the Department of Commerce, because one of the main Federal Reserve branches is located there and it's historically a major center of commerce.

Don’t want to move too many departments to KC. One thing the world definitely doesn’t need more of is Chiefs fans.

These snooty bureaucrats are above such common pastimes as watching sports. It's not like they're Redskins fans, after all.
