Virginia and Maryland have been rivals for centuries, and they have had various disputes and fights over projects on either side of the Potomac River.
The two states, along with the District of Columbia, are cooperative with several large initiatives, but three upcoming key projects have the Old Dominion and the Old Line State looking to benefit. Here is a look at the three things the DMV neighbors are fighting over.Washington Commanders stadium
A reported internal document from the new ownership group of the NFL team said they believed that Virginia would"offer the best incentive package." The Old Dominion is home to the Commanders' headquarters and training facility in Ashburn, but the state has never hosted a stadium for the team. While the two states duke it out, Washington is also making moves to become the most desirable option. Bipartisan legislation that would allow the land of the former RFK Stadium to be redeveloped was reported favorably out of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, putting the legislation one step closer to being signed into law. The access to the Washington Metro and location on the Anacostia River makes the RFK Stadium site one of the most desirable for the new stadium.
Lawmakers from both states have made their case for their state. Those from Maryland say changes to the deciding criteria to lower the emphasis on proximity to the FBI Academy in Virginia has given them a leg up in the competition. The Virginia site's proximity to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and the FBI's Quantico site still make it a compelling option, even if it is not as emphasized on the criteria scale.
