In a new court filing, the Trump Administration is explicitly raising the possibility that the Kennedy Center building could be demolished and replaced with an outdoor amphitheater. The filing does not say there is currently a plan to demolish the Kennedy Center, but it presents demolition and replacement as a likely outcome if the Trump-led restoration and fundraising effort is blocked. https://t.co/9EJU62RPRb The filing came in the lawsuit by U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty of Ohio, a member of the Kennedy Center's board by virtue of her position in Congress, who sued the administration last year to get Trump’s name off the building. “Without those efforts, the Center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down, with a determination to follow on what to build on the site, such as a large outdoor amphitheater overlooking the Potomac River that has been proposed, by some, for many years. Such a replacement will fail to adequately honor President John F. Kennedy, but would be simpler and more economical to build, operate, and maintain."
