| Is the planned HQ move to Greenbelt in danger, or is it finalized, i.e., there’s no going back to the drawing board? I know most Washingtonians are hoping for a new, vibrant stretch of Pennsylvania Ave with sidewalk cafes and boutiques where the current building is. But the new administration may have other ideas. |

| Bowser would love it. She should pitch Trump on a slate of projects - new FBI HQ, the new football stadium, etc. |

| Trump no longer owns the hotel in the Old Post Office Building so he doesn’t have the same conflict of interest that he had before (didn’t want a prime parcel available to develop a competing hotel.) I don’t know the answer as to the status of the move though. |

Via web search I just found this new article on the move. It appears Trump may in fact block the move to Md?

Geez, I hope not, with all the money that has gone into the determination of the new FBI headquarters location. What a waste. |

They could maybe use the PG site for a temporary HQ. They need to move everyone out of the Hoover bldg to demo and rebuild from scratch. It’s going to take 5+ years. FBI should be in DC proper near the court. |

| No one wanted to move to Greenbelt. That process was a sham anyway. Hopefully it does get reversed. It made absolutely no sense. |

| The project has already been approved so no this will not be stopped. |

| It will end up in Springfield, the site selected by the selection committee. It's the only logical choice among the three options, for a host of business, as opposed to "social equity", reasons. |

I don't care about the politics of it but it belongs in VA |

Trump isn't very big on fiscal responsibility. He loves bankruptcy as a "smart strategy." |

Good idea! Make the move twice as expensive! |

Why would you expect anything else? DJT wants the FBI on a short leash, not out in Springfield or Greenbelt. |

Trump will want it near a new Trump hotel property. |
