The three sites in competition to be the next home of FBI headquarters - Greenbelt and Landover, Maryland, and the General Services Administration warehouse off Loisdale Road in Springfield - will see their race come to an end early next year.

According to release from the GSA, the site and offeror for the new headquarters will be announced in early March, 2017.

The date was pushed back, a GSA spokesperson said, because of a “strong and overwhelmingly positive response from developers” to a solicitation sent out earlier in the year.

“GSA and FBI are encouraged by the proposals received,” the spokesperson said, “and are confident that, if Congress provides the resources requested in the President’s Fiscal Year 2017 budget, we will be able to deliver on our commitment to provide a world class facility for the FBI and a good deal for the taxpayer.”
