White House Pavilion Project Faces Historic Preservation Challenge
•
The Trump administration is defending a new White House event pavilion project, citing national security concerns and disputing a preservation groups lawsuit. The government argues that the project is crucial for security and that the group lacks legal standing. The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit, seeking to halt construction until reviews and public comments are completed and congressional approval is secured. The administration has offered to share classified details with the judge, but the preservationists are concerned about the projects rapid approval and expanding scope. The case is set for a hearing in a federal court in Washington.
