selected the Greenbelt, Maryland, site for the new FBI headquarters, according to a General Services Administration spokesperson.
A three-member voting panel, comprised of two GSA employees and one FBI employee whose identities were kept secret, evaluated three suburban sites:“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,” the spokesperson said.The site is at the Greenbelt Metro station.Equity was one of the criteria considered.
Three of those criteria – transportation, equity and cost – were worth 20% of a location’s portfolio. The site’s development flexibility was worth 15%, and its proximity to Quantico and other “mission-related locations” was worth 25%. Members of Maryland’s federal, state and local governments released a statement, saying in part, “We agree with the GSA’s determination that based on merit the Greenbelt site is best suited to serve the present and future FBI and the dedicated public servants who work tirelessly to protect America and uphold the law.
