Thanks to J. for passing on from the National Trust for Historic Preservation:

“The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) has opened public comments on the proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition to the White House. ... Written comments are due March 4 at Noon ET.

The White House is a National Historic Landmark and National Park, owned by the American people and stewarded by the National Park Service. ... Public input should occur before construction makes the outcome irreversible.

As National Trust President and CEO Carol Quillen has stated: “The American people deserve an opportunity to provide comment and shape the project.” ... Commissioners need to hear directly from the public.

Please take a few minutes to submit your comment.”
