FBI Likely to Leave Washington D.C. Because of Stringent Criteria on New Headquarters
The FBI most likely will leave Washington D.C. to find a new home because of strict criteria on the land, the Washington Post reports.
The new site must be at least 50 acres and within two miles from a Metro station.
That puts D.C. out of the picture, the Post reported.
Officials were looking at Poplar Point, but it doesn’t fit the criteria.
That puts “an urban, riverfront site such as Poplar Point at a significant competitive disadvantage, despite the fact that such a site can provide a secure location near many urban amenities,” Deputy Mayor Victor B. Hoskins said.
