Biden Administration Picks Maryland for New FBI Headquarters

Thursday, 09 November 2023 07:07 AM EST

The Biden administration has chosen a location for a new FBI headquarters in Maryland, the General Services Administration confirmed Wednesday, as the suburban Washington location was selected over nearby Virginia following a sharp competition between the two states.

The site is planned for Greenbelt, about 13 miles (20 kilometers) northeast of Washington.

"GSA looks forward to building the FBI a state-of-the-art headquarters campus in Greenbelt to advance their critical mission for years to come," Robin Carnahan, the GSA administrator, said. "Thank you to everyone at GSA, DOJ, FBI, Congress, and others who helped reach this important milestone after a comprehensive, multi-year effort."

The GSA also noted that Greenbelt was determined to be the best site because it came at the lowest cost to taxpayers, provided the greatest transportation access to FBI employees and visitors, and gave the government the most certainty on a project delivery schedule.

Consideration for a new headquarters has been going on for more than a decade, and in recent months the FBI has expressed concern about the site selection process.

How can these 70 Republicans justify giving the FBI MORE money when they have prioritized locking up non violent Trump supporters over locking up CHILD RAPISTS? They are complicit.

NY’s number one disappointment @RepMikeLawler makes the list that no one should be on - after the FBI has targeted conservatives and Republicans, guess who sends them $375 million?  ...

More squandered money.  More criminal activity by Congress.  Yes, criminal.  They were voted to do a job, and they are failing miserably.

There should not be any new buildings built until they get a balanced budget.  I could balance the budget in one week's time.  It would not be difficult.  There is so much waste in government it is beyond comprehension.  I know of one branch of government that hires contractors to do the work while the employees sit back and do little to nothing.  And much of what they do has zero substance, and they fight to get what little work is there.  Just that one part of the federal government is wasting such huge sums of money it would blow your mind. 

Believe me when I say, we could cut every department of government, including the military by 50 % and not skip a beat.  We have military in 140 countries, are the primary support of two major wars, and we have people starving to death in this country, people taking drugs to end their life because they are so miserable.  What is happening in this country is very self destructive.  We are not far away from the day when most people in this nation will NOT have been born here.  I say that is a huge problem.

Only 50%?
