Maryland Leaders Celebrate FBI's Selection of Greenbelt, Despite Virginia's Conflict of Interests
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post
Maryland Democrats criticize FBI Director Christopher Wray for suggesting, without evidence, that Maryland unfairly won the bid for the new FBI headquarters. They dismiss Virginia's concerns over the Greenbelt site and vow to block any efforts to reverse the Biden administration's decision. Virginia Democrats blame Governor Glenn Youngkin's lack of engagement for losing the bid, while Maryland officials celebrate the win and emphasize the economic benefits it will bring to the state. The fate of the project will be determined by Congress and funding appropriations.
