| Winchester’s
records coup
Virginia Business
March 2004
Apparently,
by FBI standards, Frederick County
is close enough to Washington, D.C., for convenience
but far enough away for comfort. The law enforcement
agency recently tapped the area as the future location
for an office and high-tech repository complex that
would house its records management division and store
and maintain all FBI records. Currently, records are
kept at individual FBI offices around the world.
Northern Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf (R-10th), who
announced the FBI’s decision to an audience of
Frederick County officials earlier this year, said that
the complex could be built either inside Winchester
city limits or out in the county and estimated that
500 to 700 new jobs could be created. The FBI records
complex is expected to open in 2009 or 2010.
