BALTIMORE (Dec. 20, 2022) – Today, Governor-Elect Moore released the following statement on the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters:

“The latest developments on Capitol Hill have made clear that we have an opportunity to continue to make our case to the federal government on why Maryland presents the best option for the new FBI Headquarters on every criteria — on economic opportunity, on sustainability, on equity, and on cost to the taxpayer. Locating the FBI Headquarters in Prince George’s County is a personal priority and an important objective for our incoming administration. I look forward to working with our Congressional delegation to seize this opportunity.” 

“In Maryland, we know that underinvestment in communities like Prince George’s County has held families back. As I’ve made clear, Leave No One Behind is the new mission of the state of Maryland. And, we will lead. 

“Locating the FBI in Prince George’s County is in line with President Biden’s equity goals, and will uplift our communities and indeed, strengthen our entire state.”
