The White House is reusing soil from the East Wing demolition to fund environmental projects on federal lands.
The U.S.
Interior Department is reusing soil from the White House East Wing demolition site—part of a $300 million privately funded project to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom—by transporting it to federal lands across Washington, D.C., to support environmental and beautification efforts without taxpayer funding.
The East Wing, which housed first ladies’ offices and staff spaces, is being demolished to make way for the new addition, which will nearly double the White House’s size.
Officials describe the soil reuse as a sustainable practice that benefits public spaces.
The project has drawn scrutiny over cost increases and the removal of historic areas, with critics calling it a threat to national heritage.
