Controversial renovations may begin Tuesday at DC’s East Potomac golf course

1, is the date that President Donald Trump set for the start of a major renovation of East Potomac Golf Links in D.C. Alex Rosen, who started the nonprofit group Save East Po to stop the announced plans, said the group is prepared to keep fighting if work begins. “They will be breaking the law, and it will be challenged in court,” he told WTOP. Another nonprofit, the D.C. Preservation League, has already filed a lawsuit in an effort to halt the project, which has also drawn objections from Congressional Democrats who pressed the Trump administration for details of the plans. While there’s no final renovation plan in place, a map posted on Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s X account in May showed a championship-level course replacing the current course.
