The agency just announced that its new headquarters will be located at the Ronald Reagan Building complex at 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW in Washington, DC. The decision ends years of discussion over building a new suburban campus — a costly proposal now shelved in favor of repurposing an existing federal site.

Maryland and Virginia just got ghosted. After years of public debate and political wrangling over where to build a massive new FBI campus — with locations in Maryland and Virginia as the top contenders — the Trump administration has decided to keep the bureau’s headquarters right in Washington, DC, officials announced Tuesday, July 1.
