After a competitive selection process against Virginia, the General Services Administration has announced that Maryland is the chosen location for a new FBI headquarters.
The Biden administration has chosen a location for a new FBI headquarters in Maryland, the General Services Administration confirmed Wednesday, as the suburban Washington location was selected over nearby Virginia following a sharp competition between the two states. The site is planned for Greenbelt, about 13 miles northeast of Washington.
Wes Moore argued in recent months that building it there would be fast, save taxpayers $1 billion and meet equity goals raised by President Joe Biden, with a location in the majority-Black Prince George’s County. Most of Maryland's congressional delegation and the governor personally raised concerns to the GSA in March about the process, including extra weight abruptly given in 2022 to proximity to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
