July 31 (UPI) -- The White House will have a ballroom to host events following the completion of the $200 million project that gets underway in September and scheduled to end by 2028.
President Donald Trump and other "patriot donors" have agreed to cover the cost to build the ballroom that will be separated from the White House's main building but share the same architectural theme and heritage, according to Thursday's White House announcement.
"President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail," White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said.
"The president and the Trump White House are fully committed to working with the appropriate organizations to preserve the special history of the White House while building a beautiful ballroom that can be enjoyed by future administrations and generations of Americans to come," Wiles added.
