The federal planning commission sided with Donald Trump.
They voted 9-1 to advance the project to the next step of the process.
The chairman said, “I think that it is fitting and proper that we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our great republic with a suitable piece of monumental architecture.”
A federal planning commission on Thursday advanced President Trump’s plan to build a 250-foot arch in Washington, even after receiving overwhelming public opposition to the project.
…
“The project team has some homework to do,” said the commission’s chairman, Will Scharf, who also serves as Mr. Trump’s White House staff secretary. He added, “I think that it is fitting and proper that we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our great republic with a suitable piece of monumental architecture.”
The panel voted 9 to 1 to advance the project to the next step in its review process, while incorporating the staff’s comments about the need for additional information and compliance with the existing laws. The project must return to the panel for a final approval.
…
One federal advisory panel, the Commission of Fine Arts, has already granted approval for the project after the president made some modest changes to its design, including removing plans for statues of gold lions perched along the arch.
Trump celebrated the news.
Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, “When completed, it will be, without question, the Greatest Arch of them all!”
A very big THANK YOU to the National Capital Planning Commission on the 8-1 approval of the Great Triumphal Arch to be built at the base of the Arlington Memorial Bridge, which has been waiting for this structure for over 200 years. When completed, it will be, without question, the Greatest Arch of them all! President DONALD J. TRUMP
