Park Service Quietly Awards Contracts to Work on Trump’s Takeover of East Potomac Golf Course
The park service approved a $389,355 compliance contract and posted a construction solicitation worth up to $49 million for the course.
- On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee revealed the National Park Service awarded contracts to begin work on President Donald Trump's planned takeover of the East Potomac Golf Links in Washington.
- Rep. Jared Huffman of California revealed the National Park Service hired Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. last week, authorizing a $389,355 contract for environmental and historic preservation compliance work.
- Beyond compliance work, the administration reached an agreement with Fazio Design for major construction, with a projected contract worth up to $49 million expected for solicitation by Jan. 31, 2027.
- Huffman denounced the project as "systematically moving to take this historic, publicly accessible resource," calling it "a methodical, deliberate effort to take a public park away from the people."
- Lawmakers including Jamie Raskin, Glenn Ivey, Eleanor Holmes Norton, and Don Beyer demanded documents from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Jessica Bowron, while a lawsuit challenges the project's legality.
