This Thursday, January 22, two events will occur in connection with the proposed White House ballroom construction project.

At 9:00 AM ET, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts will hold a public meeting that includes an informational presentation on the White House ballroom project. This meeting represents an important step in the federal planning and review process for new construction at the White House, including future opportunities for public input as the project advances.

Members of the public may observe the meeting via livestream. Advance registration is required: https://www.cfa.gov/node/41973

Later that day, at 3:30 PM ET, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia will convene a hearing on the National Trust’s request for a preliminary injunction that would halt construction until all legally required review processes have been completed. This hearing is open to the public to attend in person (Courtroom 18) but will not be livestreamed.
