The National Capital Planning Commission is set to approve President Trump’s East Wing renovation plans, which include a controversial 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition. About 100 individuals, including preservation experts and citizens, are expected to voice their opposition at the meeting, as the commission has received over 32,000 written comments against the project. Critics have expressed concerns over the ballroom’s size, private funding, and the expedited approval process. If approved, construction could begin as early as April.
