Of all the sites in PG county, I would say that Greenbelt would be the top choice for a number of factors:

1. There has already been studies and plans for a major TOD at the station. All that exists is a sprawling commuter lot that can easily be converted into parking garages.

2. The Greenbelt metro is already home to a federal court house and an office park across Cherry Hill.

3. The 495/95 exits are less than a mile away. There are actually exits from 495 that spill right into the Greenbelt Metro parking lot.

4. Proximity to the growing NSA and UMD.

5. It would spur the redevelopment of Beltway Plaza and sections of Rt. 1.

I'm sure that Greenbelt won't be B. Heard's suggestion. But I thought it was the most readily available site. Besides, there was talk of the FBI moving to Greenbelt a few years ago until the project got bogged down in lawsuits.
