Kennedy Center Renovation Project
The Bottom Line
The Kennedy Center board voted to close the national arts facility for two years to carry out a $257 million renovation plan backed by President Trump. This project aims to transform the center but has sparked legal battles, including a court order forcing the board to let Rep. Joyce Beatty join their meetings. The facility will remain shut down during the construction period to complete the massive overhaul.
