Public Comment Period Open: White House Ballroom Proposal
The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) has opened the public comment period on the East Wing Modernization Project, including the proposed construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition to the White House complex. The White House is a National Historic Landmark and National Park, owned by the American people and stewarded by the National Park Service. It has been home to our presidents since 1800 and is perhaps the most significant historic site in the United States. Before nationally significant places are permanently altered, the public deserves an opportunity to be heard and to help shape decisions that affect our shared national heritage.
Written comments are due March 4, 2026, at Noon ET.
Visit the NCPC participation page.
Select the blue “Submit Written Comments" button.
When completing the form, select "East Wing Modernization" for the "Select Projects" field dropdown.
Comments may be submitted as plain text or as a PDF.
Members of the public may also apply to provide oral testimony at the virtual NCPC meeting on March 5, 2026.
The meeting will be virtual, but you must register in advance to speak.
Speaker Registration Deadline: February 25, 2026 (Noon ET)
Visit the NCPC participation page.
Select the blue “Register to Speak at a Meeting" button.
When completing the form, select "East Wing Modernization" for the "Select Projects" field dropdown.

Cheshire & Hillsborough County Democratic Committees
with Special Guest
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear
Saturday, March 7th from 12-2 PM
The Community Kitchen, 37 Mechanic St, Keene
Please consider bringing a shelf-stable food item to support the Community Kitchen.
Meet Kentucky's dynamic Governor Andy Beshear!
The suggested donation is $26 for 2026 to make it accessible to many. A light lunch will be provided. Larger donations are welcomed and appreciated. All donations will be split equally between the Cheshire County Democratic Committee and the Hillsborough County Committee and used to support down ballot candidates in the crucial 2026 elections, as we work to regain majorities in the State House and the State Senate. Should the donation suggested provide an economic burden for your attendance, please contact hcdcnh@gmail.com. You may also contact us with any questions or concerns.
We thank our special guest Gov. Andy Beshear, and State Senator Donovan Fenton for helping facilitate and sponsor this event.
Governor Andy Beshear is viewed as one of America’s most popular Democratic governors, winning three statewide elections in dark-red Kentucky. Beshear won reelection by more than 5% in 2023—in a state that Donald Trump carried by 30 points.
Under his leadership, Kentucky has seen historic economic development and record investments in infrastructure, including building affordable high ground housing on reclaimed coal mines, transitioning Kentucky’s economy to become the electric vehicle battery capital of the world, and opening the first hospital in Kentucky’s largest African American community in over 150 years. Beshear has offered steady, compassionate leadership after historic disasters, from devastating tornadoes to historic flooding.
He governs a state with Republican supermajorities while standing firm on his values and doing the right thing regardless of politics. Beshear has regularly sued the Trump Administration to protect Kentucky’s interests, including over one $100 million in funding for Kentucky’s public schools. He has vetoed every anti-LGBTQ+ bill that has come to his desk, banned conversion therapy via executive order, restored voting rights to nearly 200,000 Kentuckians, and vetoed four anti-choice bills—including one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country.
