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.
  • 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.
  • Calling the project "a methodical, deliberate effort," Huffman denounced the plan as "systematically moving to take this historic, publicly accessible resource" for private use.
  • 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.
