Two Maryland locations and one in Virginia are still considered viable sites for a new FBI headquarters.
The General Services Administration during a phone briefing Friday said that the sites in Greenbelt, Landover and Springfield still meet the FBI’s needs, Federal News Network reports. Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin and Reps. Steny H. Hoyer and Anthony Brown all called the finding a “positive step.”
The Democrats released the following statement:
Today’s GSA finding that the two Maryland FBI campus sites remain viable options to meet the needs of the Bureau is another positive step toward our goal of securing a new, consolidated headquarters. For far too long, the FBI workforce has remained in a building that does not meet their security or operational needs. That’s why we will keep pushing for the new headquarters, and we are confident that the Maryland sites in Greenbelt and Landover are the best locations. We urge the GSA to work quickly, in accordance with the provisions we secured in the Omnibus law enacted in March, to select a final headquarters location this fall.”
