Maryland pushes back on Trump’s plans to scrap FBI’s planned move to Greenbelt
- During a Friday speech at the Justice Department, President Donald Trump opposed the General Services Administration's selection of Greenbelt, Maryland, as the location for the new FBI headquarters, despite the site selection occurring in 2023.
- This action introduces uncertainty into the project after a lengthy competition over the site.
- The Greenbelt site was chosen because it offers the best transportation access for FBI workers and visitors, represents the lowest cost to taxpayers, and provides the most certainty regarding the project's delivery schedule.
- Congress has already appropriated hundreds of millions of dollars, including $375 million for fiscal year 2023 and $200 million for fiscal year 2024, for the construction of the new FBI headquarters.
- Maryland officials, including Governor Wes Moore, have stated they will continue to advocate for the headquarters to be located in Maryland, even as Trump referenced long-standing grievances with the Biden administration and took actions since returning to the White House in January.
