what to watch for<\/h2>\n

The Trump administration is planning to build new fencing around the White House and nearby Lafayette Park, the Washington Post<\/u> reported Friday morning, so pedestrian access can be restricted around the White House if the Secret Service determines there are security risks. The project would first need to be reviewed by the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, the Post reported. <\/p>\n

Where Else Is The White House Under Construction?<\/h2>\n

Construction crews began work on a previously unannounced helipad<\/u> on the White House\u2019s South Lawn last week. Contractor\u2019s records obtained by the Washington Post<\/u> earlier this week show the White House sped up construction on the $13 million project and added $875,000 to the bill in anticipation of an \u201cupcoming state visit.\u201d The visiting world leader is not named, but the Post reported it is likely referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is expected to visit in September. Trump has also embarked on a controversial project to build a White House ballroom, beginning with the demolition of the East Wing earlier this year. The project is reportedly expected to cost $600 million, more than half of which is coming from taxpayer money, the Washington Post<\/u> reported. <\/p>\n

tangent<\/h2>\n

Across D.C., tarps also stand outside the Kennedy Center, blocking the venue\u2019s sign\u2014which now lacks Trump\u2019s name following a court order<\/u> to remove it\u2014from public view. The tarps have stood for nearly a month and have drawn ire from some Democrats, and a federal judge last month ordered<\/u> the center to explain the purpose of the tarps by the end of July. Overhauling the Kennedy Center became one of Trump\u2019s most controversial Washington projects, as he purged much of its board of trustees and replaced it with allies, who appointed him chair, last year. His efforts to add his name to the center and close it for years of renovations were blocked by a judge in May, and the Kennedy Center is now fighting the court order in a federal appeals court. <\/p>\n

big number<\/h2>\n

$1.2 billion. That\u2019s how much 18 major construction projects Trump launched across Washington, D.C., could cost, according to an estimate by the New York Times<\/u>. It\u2019s unclear how much of this is funded by taxpayers, but the Times reported a White House official suggested taxpayer money would be used for most of these projects. <\/p>\n

key background<\/h2>\n

Trump launched an effort to remodel major landmarks of Washington, D.C., in his second term, including a botched restoration of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool\u2014which has refilled with algae and led to criminal charges<\/u> for multiple people for alleged vandalism. Elsewhere in Washington, Trump has also remodeled the White House\u2019s Rose Garden and several rooms in the building, and he launched a $17 million renovation of Lafayette Park. Trump has also proposed building a 250-foot arch in Washington, but the potential project is facing a challenge<\/u> from Democratic lawmakers who say Trump needs approval from Congress.<\/p>\n
