The new headquarters would allow for the consolidation of more than 11,000 FBI employees currently located in the J. Edgar Hoover Building and 13 other leased properties in the National Capitol Region. The prospectus identified three potential sites for the facility: Greenbelt, MD; Landover, MD; and Springfield, VA. In July 2017, GSA cancelled the project, citing insufficient funding. No further action was taken until the enactment of the FY2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 117-103). Section 530 E of the law required GSA to select one of the three sites in as expeditious manner as possible. Site Selection Plan In September 2022, GSA published a document outlining the process by which the new FBI headquarters site will be chosen from the three previously identified locations. This plan was modified in November 2022 and again in July 2023. This Insight describes the July 2023 plan. In brief, a selection panel of government employees is to assess each site based on five weighted criteria and make a recommendation to the site selection authority, who makes the final decision and may reject the panel's recommendation. Site Selection Participants The site selection authority is a full-time federal employee in the Senior Executive Service. An individual has been designated as the site selection authority, although that person's name has not been made public. The site selection authority is responsible for, among other things: making the final decision on the location of the new FBI headquarters, appointing the voting and non-voting members of the site selection panel, and appointing the site selection panel chairperson.
