GREENBELT, Md. (November 10, 2023) – Comptroller Brooke Lierman released the following statement on the selection of Greenbelt as the site of the new national headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Investigation:

 

“I applaud the news that the General Services Administration has chosen to relocate the FBI National Headquarters to Greenbelt. The selection process was long and in-depth because the stakes were high. The outcome is one that is best for FBI employees and for our government as a whole. Maryland is home to a talented, diverse workforce as well as several allied federal, local, and state agencies – like the NSA and Goddard Space Flight Center -- that will provide strong support to the Bureau in its important work. 

 

“Maryland has access to critical transportation infrastructure, the ability to accommodate a facility that meets the agency’s needs, and proximity to our nation’s capital. All these factors make Maryland a natural choice as home to the FBI as it starts a new era in its history. Rep. Steny Hoyer, our U.S. Senators, Governor Wes Moore, and Prince George’s Executive Angela Alsobrooks all made the strong case that Greenbelt is the best option. 

 

“While more than 400 people already work out of the Baltimore Field Office, we are excited to welcome more FBI personnel to our great state and look forward to the agency building its headquarters in Prince George’s County. FBI employees will enjoy working in and joining the culturally rich and vibrant community that Greenbelt and our state have to offer. 

 

“I look forward to providing support and assistance in helping move the process forward in partnership with the Governor, Prince George’s County Executive, and our federal delegation."
