White House ballroom project to sit atop underground military complex
The US military is constructing a large underground complex beneath a new, privately funded White House ballroom, which will house an upgraded Presidential Emergency Operations Center. President Trump confirmed the project, highlighting advanced security features for the ballroom. Reports indicate that the classified nature of the underground work allowed it to bypass approval by the National Capital Planning Commission.
