Maryland's Bid for New FBI Headquarters Receives Significant Boost with Updated Criteria

Maryland's bid for a new FBI headquarters received a boost as the General Services Administration (GSA) changed its criteria for site selection, giving less weight to proximity to Quantico, Virginia, and more weight to cost and social impact. Virginia had been seen as the frontrunner, but Maryland's congressional delegation and Governor Wes Moore argued that the government should prioritize values beyond convenience. Republicans in Congress are also attempting to derail the project, with some threatening to block funding or move the headquarters away from the Washington region. The GSA's revised guidelines have been welcomed by Maryland officials, while Virginia lawmakers expressed dismay. The FBI has long sought a replacement for its current building in downtown D.C., and the search has narrowed down to sites in Maryland and Virginia.
