💨 Abstract

The Trump administration selected the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington DC as the new FBI headquarters, rejecting previous plans for Greenbelt, Maryland, and two sites in Virginia. The FBI and the General Services Administration (GSA) justified the decision on cost-efficiency and resource utilization. However, legislators from Maryland and Virginia criticized the move, citing Congressional approval for the Maryland site and security concerns. The FBI had planned to move from the aging J. Edgar Hoover Building due to extensive structural and infrastructure issues.
