The inventory analysis revealed the judicial department had the most number of leases, the highest total annual cost, and largest total square footage of the state agencies. The Departments of Social Services (DSS) and Children and Families (DCF) followed consecutively in second and third position for each category. In terms of average cost per square foot, the Department of Information Technology (DOIT) has the highest ($20.95) followed by the Division of Criminal Justice ($17.33), the Commission on the Arts ($17.00), Agriculture ($16.71), and the Department of Public Works ($16.07). It is important to note that the condition of the real estate market during the year the rate was negotiated may have an impact on cost.
