Citizens may see increased economic activity in their regions.
Key points
Most government agencies will be required to move their main headquarters out of the Washington area.
Existing headquarters in Washington cannot be renovated or have their leases renewed.
New locations will be chosen through a competitive bidding process, considering local economic impact and national security.
