US EditionTrump administration to announce plans to keep FBI in D.C.
- In 2023, the General Services Administration selected Greenbelt, Maryland, as the site for the FBI's new headquarters to replace the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C.
- The decision followed years of planning, with the Hoover Building suffering from deferred maintenance such as an aging water system and falling concrete.
- The move aims to save taxpayers billions by avoiding new construction costs and deferred maintenance estimated at over $300 million, while providing a facility that meets FBI security and mission needs.
- FBI Director Kash Patel called this "a historic moment for the FBI," while Maryland officials vowed to support the bureau, but some lawmakers pledged to oppose attempts to redirect funding away from the Greenbelt site.
- The relocation implies significant workforce changes, including moving some employees out of D.C., and suggests ongoing political contention over funding and site suitability.
