A final vote to approve President Donald Trump’s proposed triumphal arch on Thursday is poised to kick off a fresh round of legal wrangling as efforts to stop its construction intensify through the courts.
The National Capital Planning Commission, one of two federal agencies that oversees architectural and design changes in Washington, is expected to greenlight the 250-foot monument at its afternoon meeting. The Trump administration has said it can begin construction the same day.
