Moore said Maryland has been left behind in past GSA decisions.
Maryland Gov.-elect Wes Moore said Tuesday that relocating the FBI’s headquarters to Prince George’s County is a “personal priority” and called on the U.S. General Services Administration to make a decision that aligns with President Biden’s equity goals.“In Maryland, we know that underinvestment in communities like Prince George’s County has held families back,” Moore said in a statement.
Moore’s comments come a day after House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer and U.S. Sens. Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen, all Democrats from Maryland, negotiated at least a three-month delay in a decision on the relocation by inserting language about the headquarters into an omnibus federal spending package.
The “top priority must be to ensure a fair and transparent process in line with both congressional intent and with the administration’s commitment to addressing long-standing inequity in the siting of federal projects and agencies,” Hoyer, Cardin and Van Hollen said in a joint statement.
