In a document illuminating the agency’s thinking, FBI officials stressed proximity to Quantico as decision nears for what will replace the Hoover building
The Federal Bureau of Investigation in a letter this month underscored the value of locating its planned suburban headquarters close to existing Virginia facilities as a decision nears in an at-times acrimonious, decade-long fight between the Commonwealth and Maryland to lure the agency.“Distances matter when surging to a command post,” the bureau stated in response to questions that Maryland leaders lodged with the federal government in March.
Moore reiterated his position that the Maryland sites have the best transportation assets, cost, and racial equity opportunities, and can most quickly deliver the $2 billion project. But he also questioned whether Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin — who in theRepublican efforts to strip funding for the FBI headquarters — supports the institution.
“This response remains inadequate as it simply repackages the same numbers without directly answering our Delegation’s questions about them,” he said, adding that locating the headquarters in Maryland would achieve the Biden-Harris equity objectives and cost less.FBI leaders have expressed a desire to keep the agency’s headquarters in the nation’s capital, where they have quick access to the Department of Justice and stand as a public-facing symbol of law and order.
“We must ask ourselves: Why should the FBI headquarters be moved to a state where it’s unwanted and under threat by the state’s governor and Members of Congress? It’s outrageous and embarrassing,” Trone said. “In Maryland, we will always welcome the FBI and the hard-working Americans defending our country.”In the document, the FBI said its employees make trips to Quantico to work cases, respond to threats and to prep employees and partners to serve in a variety of different roles.
