The federal committee that oversees federal construction projects in the District of Columbia is set to hold a public hearing on President Donald Trump’s massive White House ballroom building project on January 8, months after the president ordered the historic White House East Wing demolished to make way for the planned $400 million event space.
The National Capital Planning Commission last week said it would host White House officials who would present information about what it called the “East Wing Modernization Project” in a public notice announcing the meeting, which will start what could be a months-long review of the project by the commission.
