Detailed Factual Report
Washington — The National Capital Planning Commission voted Thursday to approve plans for President Trump's 250-foot triumphal arch, giving the final go-ahead for the monument that's set to be constructed between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
The NCPC, which acts as the federal government's planning agency for the region and is stacked with Trump allies, voted 8-4 to greenlight the project after almost 9 hours of public comments from members of Congress, veterans, architects and Washington, D.C., and Virginia residents.
It's unclear how soon construction of the arch could start, though the Justice Department said in a court filing last month that it could begin as soon as Thursday. A court challenge in Washington could delay the Trump administration's plans.
