Statement on Today’s National Capital Planning Commission Meeting
In reaction to today’s National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) meeting, Carol Quillen, President and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, issued the following statement:
“Today’s NCPC informational presentation about the White House ballroom was a good and necessary first step. The National Trust continues to urge the Administration to comply with all legally required review and approval processes before commencing construction, including the NCPC, the Commission of Fine Arts, compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, and approval by Congress. We appreciate Chairman Scharf’s commitment that public input will be invited at a future meeting, and look forward to the American people having a voice in the process moving forward.”
