The FBI will relocate from its Washington headquarters to a proposed site in suburban Maryland, the General Services Administration confirmed on Wednesday, capping an acrimonious process in which officials from two states competed for the lucrative project.

In a statement, GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan said that the agency “looks forward to building the FBI a state-of-the-art headquarters campus in Greenbelt to advance their critical mission for years to come.”

A GSA spokesperson further explained that the agency determined that Greenbelt would be a lower-cost location to build a new FBI headquarters, provide greater transportation access and better advance the agency’s sustainability and equity goals. The spokesperson was granted anonymity to better explain the factors that went into the agency’s decision.
