The FBI might be getting a new director, but it won’t be moving to a new headquarters anytime soon.
The General Services Administration announced Tuesday that it has canceled plans to move the FBI from its downtown Washington, D.C. location to the suburbs.
The plan to relocate the bureau from the J. Edgar Hoover building had been in the works for years, with locations in Greenbelt and Landover, Maryland and Springfield, Virginia under consideration for the move.
The decision to scrap the plans was a financial one, according to GSA officials who said the government could not risk moving forward with the plan without the dedicated funding required.
