FBI HQ in PG!

Wherever people live or move to in the future, Quantico is in Virginia and it's not moving.

Springfield was always the obvious choice.

Most organizations do a study of where employees live and expected commute means and times, as a significant factor in determining a facility relocation. Presumably the FBI conducted such a study. In the end, the decision may have been based on political factors, as much as anything.

My husband works at HQ and has heard through the rumor mill tonight that the location fight is just getting started and that the general sentiment is no one should feel safe until ground is physically broken at a new site.

FBI is more aligned with the NSA (Ft Meade) than the CIA (Langley/Quantico)

It should be located at Polar Point.

In DC, Federal land, metro station right there. Has buffer for security.

Isn’t the FBI training academy in Quantico?

The NSA is in Maryland at Ft Meade, so Quantico and the training academy being there doesn't mean that its the only place intelligence can be. The overwhelmingly higher cost to the Springfield site should make both MD sites more appealing to the American taxpayers, so given that, I don't see why it is still a debate.

If your husband actually works at HQ and knew you were posting this sort of stuff, he would likely be very displeased with you. If not, I am disgusted as a taxpayer.

Let me guess, you and your husband are white and republican and he's pushing for a Trump win to make sure this move doesn't happen so that he doesn't have to go to PG County?

Um. No.

Muriel Bowser claims that she wants to get more federal employees back to offices in DC. But how hard did Bowser and DC Del. Eleanor Holmes Snoozin' fight to keep the FBI in the District? That's a large and high profile federal employer that might have been persuaded to relocate to St Elizabeth's campus or a site nearby. Bowser and Co. bear responsibility for not doing enough to try to keep the FBI.

Poplar Point? Unless you are suggesting that the FBI should move to Alaska.

The FBI may work in PG, but they will live elsewhere. Surely raise their kids in a better place!

Greenbelt is actually lovely.

I think this supposed disappointment won't last.

Not PP you replied to, but don't be ridiculous. This isn't privileged information. Of course decisions can, and have been, reversed.

Separately, I think Greenbelt is the best choice.
