Biden budget calls for new FBI HQ to be built in Maryland or Virginia; Not D.C. [View all]
Local leaders in Maryland and Virginia are applauding a decision to move the FBI headquarters to the suburbs. The Trump administration had moved to keep it in D.C.
During the Obama Administration, the General Services Administration was targeting three possible locations as suitable sites for the future HQ:
Former Landover Mall, Prince George's County
Greenbelt Metro Station, Prince George's County
GSA Franconia Warehouse Complex in Springfield, Fairfax County
In 2017, plans were abruptly changed when the Trump Administration announced that they were scrapping the idea. The administration was pitching a plan to rebuild the HQ at the current site instead.
In the latest budget proposal, the Biden administration recognized "the critical need for a new FBI headquarters," adding that the current building "can no longer support the long-term (sic) mission of the FBI."
