Speak Out: Is BARC A Good Spot for a New FBI Headquarters?

Councilmember Rodney Roberts told Greenbelt City Council last Tuesday that Prince George's County was grounds.

Now that the idea is out in the open, what do you think about it? Is it a good idea or is there another Greenbelt or county location that you think would be more fitting?

Roberts made it clear to council that he isn't keen on BARC's property being whittled down. But in an interview after the meeting, Roberts said he would love to see the FBI— along with its some 10,000 jobs— take up shop in the South Core of the . But he thinks developers want townhomes on the South Core instead.

The FBI moving is not a definite, but facing a long-derided structure that no longer meets its needs, it is considering alternative options—and one of them is relocating, according to the Huffington Post.

One thing is a definite, where the FBI settles, jobs will be created, which may play into the politics by the county and other local municipalities.

Would you like to see the FBI headquarters move to BARC, the South Core, North Core—or somewhere outside the county? Tell us what you think in the comments.
