Department of Homeland Security moving here?

Brent Finnegan -- January 3rd, 2007

Speaking of the Post, did anyone catch this story in the December 26th edition?

Real estate brokers working in Winchester say that FEMA is looking for additional space for its accounting department and that the Department of Homeland Security is looking for space around Harrisonburg, farther south along I-81.

Say it ain’t so.

For all I know, this was covered in the local media, but I’ve been in the dark for the last week and a half. So if it’s old news to you, sorry. If not, thanks to Mike for pointing out this article on worthless.

    It’s been heading this way for years I suppose. I was hoping later than sooner.

    That is the secret outpost of a QRT (Quick Response Team) within the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. BICE is the Bush-created half of the former-INS that deports people; BCIS is the other half that helps people, but the closest BCIS office is in Fairfax.
