No permits or plans have been submitted for the reconstruction of the new gold ballroom at the White House, a project initiated by President Donald Trump during the government shutdown, and a stop-work order has been issued. Given that it is a public and historic project involving hazardous materials, the typical timeline is four to five years, Boardman continued. This is because the project would undergo public discussion, and preparation would likely require at least two years to ensure that both the workers and materials are vetted for safety. Designer Sarah Boardman has spent the past two days on Threads, sounding the alarm that in a normal world, the National Capital Planning Commission would be in “charge of the construction, preservation, and all plans for the White House.”

Word of the Day
“Trump’s decision to appoint his own loyalists to the agency is likely to exacerbate concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding the ballroom renovation, which critics have described as a ‘presidential vanity project,'” the Beast reported. She also looked up specific permits the construction company itself has pulled for the area, and there is no permit listed under their name for 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “White House officials insist demolition is allowed without the commission’s approval,” said The Guardian. “Will Scharf, the Trump-appointed head of the commission, who is also a White House staff secretary, said in September there was a difference between demolition and rebuilding work, and only the commission can approve new construction.”

White House hasn’t submitted plans for Trump’s fancy ballroom despite shocking demolition
“I just looked up all the permit records for the White House. There are none for this ballroom abomination. There are no applications. And it clearly says that we own this building,” Boardman wrote on Threads with screen captures of the website. Trump said over the summer, when he announced the project, that the East Wing of the White House would not be touched. As Boardman explained in her version of a “fast timeline,” the “drawings, planning, permissions, permitting” usually take “2-3 years,” but those are only during normal projects.
