The FBI has selected its new headquarters that’s more across the street than across state lines to Greenbelt, Maryland, President Donald Trump’s administration announced Tuesday.
The bureau and General Services Administration selected the Ronald Reagan Building as the new location for the FBI, just blocks away from the bureau’s current headquarters, the J. Edgar Hoover Building. In a news release, the bureau said the new location will provide a world-class facility while saving taxpayers money.
The announcement follows 15 years of debate, and the GSA and FBI’s decision in 2023 to move to Greenbelt. At the time, a GSA spokesperson said in a statement, “GSA determined Greenbelt to be the best site because it was the lowest cost to taxpayers, provided the greatest transportation access to FBI employees and visitors, and gave the government the most certainty on project delivery schedule.”
Trump said earlier this year that he planned to halt that relocation.
The Washington Post first reported the plans by the Trump administration to relocate the FBI headquarters to the Ronald Reagan Building, which was once home of the United States Agency for International Development.
