The Prince George’s County Council is very disappointed by today’s announcement by the General Services Administration to cancel its search for a new FBI headquarters. We believe Prince George's County was the best possible choice for site selection and unfortunately this decision will severely impede the creation of jobs and economic development in the region. Throughout the relocation process the entire County Government was united in the effort and we will continue to work together to expand economic opportunity in Prince George’s County.
