“East Wing Modernization” Comments

Like a nagging cold, I just can’t seem to shake the East Wing of the White House. The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) has opened public comments on the proposed 90,000 square foot ballroom addition to the White House.

Please note that comments are due by March 4^th, about a week away.
