Under a new proposal, the FBI headquarters would be moved to an existing building and parking lot just north of Massachusetts Avenue and a block west of Union Station.

Yesterday Washingtonian had quite the scoop: the FBI could potentially stay in D.C., taking a site a block away from Union Station. Well, that’s news to the Government Printing Office, which owns that land in question and told us today that it has no plans of decamping or giving up the site for the purposes of a new FBI HQ.

“Concerning recent reports of a plan by Republic Properties for location of an FBI headquarters on the site currently occupied by the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), this is news to us,” said GPO spokesman Gary Somerset.

“Republic Properties has not discussed this proposal with us and GPO has no relationship with them. GPO has no plans to dispose of the property currently behind our buildings. GPO’s buildings are utilized for GPO operations supporting the information product requirements of Congress, the White House, Federal agencies, and the public. Per congressional authorization, they also house elements of the U.S. Capitol Police, the Architect of the Capitol, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom,” he added.

D.C.’s official offering for the new FBI HQ remains Poplar Point along the Anacostia River; jurisdictions in Maryland and Virginia have offered up their own proposals in hopes of wooing the law enforcement agency and its 11,000 employees beyond city limits. The existing FBI building on Pennsylvania Avenue, worth some $900 million, will be put up for development.
