WASHINGTON, DC—The General Services Administration is expected to announce its short list of possible sites for a new headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The GSA received proposals from developers and local governments in the surrounding region for the 2.1-million-square-foot FBI requirement, including proposals regarding sites at the parking lot area at Greenbelt Metro station, public and private land in Springfield, the former Landover Mall, and the Southeast D.C. waterfront parcel Poplar Point, according to the Washington Post.
A new wrinkle in the decision-making process by GSA could include a preferred 350-foot security setback around the FBI buildings, which could doom some proposals.
Sources tell the newspaper that the GSA is considering the Armed Forces Retirement Home off of North Capitol Street as a possible FBI headquarters site; and the eastern portion of the former Walter Reed Army Hospital, which is still owned by the federal government. The GSA is expected to make its final choice late next year. See story in the Washington Post.
