FBI headquarters is currently situated at the J. Edgar Hoover Building on Pennsylvania Avenue, though the agency has long sought a larger building to bring together roughly 11,000 employees in the area.
The FBI will build its new headquarters in Greenbelt, Md., abandoning downtown Washington, D.C., the Washington Post reported Wednesday, citing “multiple people familiar with the decision.”
The new facility would be built on a 61-acre plot near the Greenbelt Metro station, and become one of the primary fixtures of a proposed development that would include hotels, shops, and apartments. The site beat out other top contenders in Landover, Md., and Springfield, Va.
FBI headquarters is currently situated at the J. Edgar Hoover Building on Pennsylvania Avenue, though the agency has long sought a larger building to bring together roughly 11,000 employees in the area. Earlier this year, the J. Edgar Hoover building was ranked the “ugliest” building in the U.S. in a Buildworld survey.
The reported decision is not likely to be the end of the matter, however, as the FBI has reportedly expressed concerns with the selection process, which has gone on for years.
The f b.i. deserves nothing but maybe a new shithouse built out of rotten wood for their new headquarters, and built it california or massachusetts.
What a crazy thing to say. You’ll want the FBI if anyone in your family was kidnapped, or if you are victim of any of the other crimes the FBI deals with.
No 11:47, I want the f.b.i. for nothing. They wouldn’t have time to investigate anything possibly that real. They are too busy framing Donald Trump !!!! And using george w bush’s home land security’s patriot act to commit illegal search and seizures on good law abiding citizens. We must not forget what they are doing to the innocent legal spectators at the J6 protest. The reason they want a new and bigger headquarters is to make room for thousands more agents to declare war on the American people like me, and don’t think you will slip through the cracks 11:47, they are coming for you also !!!! So like I said, all they deserve is a shithouse for their new headquarters built from old rotten wood.
Shure Democrat ran & infested Maryland !!!!
Fire everyone above the Fire Departments safety related capacity and the building will be perfect.
