Federal government worsens Washington’s sprawl, local officials say

Local government officials around Washington are concerned that the federal government is moving too many of its facilities out of town, weakening efforts to battle sprawl. The most recent complaints stem from the FBI’s decision to move its Northern Virginia field office into a suburban area away from the Metro transit system, causing many employees to commute further or move, according to the Washington Post. Federal officials cite security concerns, while some developers say the concern over the dispersal of federal offices is exaggerated.
