The General Services Administration (GSA) mid-Atlantic Region has purchased a site in Frederick County to construct the FBI’s new 256,000-square-foot Central Records Complex.
The federal agency paid $4.75 million for a 59-acre site off U.S. 50 where it plans to build a $109 million facility where more than 440 employees would work.
The new facility would streamline the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s worldwide records management. “The centralization of FBI records consolidates records from 265 current locations into a single facility,” Joanna Rosato, regional commissioner of GSA’s Public Buildings Service in the mid-Atlantic Region, said in a statement. "The CRC will provide the infrastructure and technology for the FBI to continue to digitize records on demand."
