Kennedy Center Ordered To Provide 30 Days Notice Before Potential Demolition
A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Kennedy Center to provide 30 days notice before making “any changes” to construction plans, including potential demolition, which President Donald Trump has threatened.
A federal judge issued an order on Sept 17 requiring US President Donald Trump's administration to provide a minimum of 30 days notice before any actions to demolish the Kennedy Centre. This decision came after Trump suggested the landmark venue could be torn down if his plans for the site were not followed. The order was issued by US District Judge Christopher Cooper, following new evidence submitted by lawyers representing Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, who is suing to keep the venue open.
Beatty argues that the closure of the venue is a setup for indefinite shutdown and eventual demolition.
