Yeah, unless something has changed recently, this is more about leverage with DC to keep them in the middle of the city.

As I understand the layout of the city, a lot of the defence contractors are on the west side because that's where the Pentagon is, so there would be a lot of money over there. This would make it a better location than Landover, where the Cap Center used to be (RIP Saddle-shaped friend), but downtown is probably still preferred.
