Members of Maryland’s federal, state, and local governments released a statement Thursday afternoon regarding the General Services Administration notice of an evaluation of the site selection process for the new FBI headquarters.  The GSA has chosen Greenbelt, Maryland as the location but objections raised by Virginia representatives has now launched an investigation into possible conflicts of interest and changes of criteria in the scoring process. The statement from Maryland officials states that, ”any objective evaluation will find that the GSA arrived at this decision after a thorough and transparent process. It is imperative that we move expeditiously to build a new, state of the art headquarters that meets the FBI’s vital national security mission.”
