As headquarters decision nears, document suggests FBI prefers Virginia over Maryland

As Maryland and Virginia continue to battle to be the new home of the FBI’s headquarters, a document is being circulated that indicates the bureau itself prefers to move to Virginia. The FBI document, which was circulated this week and obtained by The Banner, argues that a location nearer the FBI training academy in Quantico, Virginia, would be more convenient than a location in Maryland because some employees need to go back and forth between headquarters and the training academy.
