FBI Headquarters Moving to Reagan Building in D.C.

The FBI will relocate its headquarters from the aging J. Edgar Hoover Building to the Ronald Reagan Building in downtown Washington, D.C., ending prolonged debate over a new suburban facility. The Trump administration announced the move, emphasizing billions saved in construction costs and avoiding over $300 million in deferred maintenance. The Ronald Reagan Building, which already hosts several federal agencies, will provide a modern and safer workspace for FBI personnel. This decision overrides a 2023 GSA selection of Greenbelt, Maryland, as the new headquarters site. Maryland and Virginia lawmakers, along with some officials, have criticized the reversal, citing concerns about security and operational readiness. Details about the relocation's timeline and logistics have not been finalized.
