Trump's Ballroom Proposal Faces Key Washington Meeting

The Washington planning commission is poised to deliberate on U.S. President Donald Trump's initiative to construct a ballroom in the White House East Wing. Scheduled for consideration on March 5, the proposal appears on the tentative meeting agenda accessible online.

The National Capital Planning Commission, charged with oversight of major development projects in the capital, will review the preliminary and final site and building plans for the project. This step could significantly advance plans for the new facility.

The commission's decision could play a pivotal role in the future of modifications to one of the nation's most iconic residences, affecting both its function and appearance.
