The new FBI headquarters slated to be built in Greenbelt, Maryland, would see $375 million in fiscal 2025 under the Senate spending bill passed out of the Appropriations Committee yesterday. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) secured the funding and support from the full committee in the Financial Services and General Government bill. This funding comes after House appropriators in June pushed back on GSA’s plan to invest $3.5 billion in the new headquarters. Thousands of federal employees would be impacted by the relocation of the headquarters from the dilapidated J. Edgar Hoover building in D.C. GSA selected Greenbelt last November, which it said would provide the best transportation access to FBI employees.
