Summary
Greenbelt didn’t get the FBI headquarters: the feds are keeping it in D.C., and the mayor is now figuring out what the city does next. It’s a letdown for a city that had been pitching itself for the jobs and investment the project could bring.

Impact analysis
Greenbelt misses out on the jobs, construction spending, and tax revenue that a new FBI HQ could have brought—though it also avoids the infrastructure and service costs of hosting it.
Washington, D.C., and the area around the current FBI site keep the jobs and federal investment, and FBI employees avoid a disruptive move.
Greenbelt residents and businesses that were counting on new jobs, customers, and development momentum lose out.
