Federal Arts Panel Backs Trump’s White House Ballroom Addition

A federal panel responsible for reviewing artistic and architectural projects at government facilities has given its blessing to President Trump’s proposed White House ballroom addition.

The U.S. Commission on Fine Arts cast their votes in favor of the ballroom construction project that Trump has been pushing forward. The commission currently consists of members who are considered allies of the president.

The approval moves the White House expansion project one step closer to reality, though additional approvals and planning stages will likely be required before construction can begin.
