Summary
President Donald Trump's signature ballroom project faced another setback on Thursday, a new report revealed. The Guardian reported that the National Capital Planning Commission, a federal panel reviewing the $400 million project, delayed its final vote after receiving a "large amount of public input." The final vote has been pushed to April 2. "Before the meeting, the commission released more than 9,000 pages of public comments it received about the project," the report reads in part. "The commission has said that more than 35,000 people had submitted written comments, with the majority opposing Trump’s plans to build a 90,000 sq ft ballroom where the East Wing of the White House once stood, and condemning the demolition of the East Wing, which began in October."Most of the comments described the ballroom as "gaudy and cheap," The Guardian noted. "At the time, White House officials argued that the demolition did not require the commission’s approval, and said they would present plans for any construction proposals to the proper commissions," the report added. "Trump has said the ballroom would cost about $400m and be financed with private donations."Read the entire report by clicking here.
