From People:Preservationists are taking their fight against Donald Trump’s proposed makeover of one of Washington, D.C.’s most recognizable buildings back to court.
Groups challenging Trump’s plan to paint the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) plan to file a renewed motion for a preliminary injunction on Thursday, July 30.
Cultural Heritage Partners said the planned motion comes after the White House announced its intention to begin a paint feasibility study on portions of the landmark.
The group also said the administration had previously assured the court that no such work would move forward before complying with federal historic preservation and environmental laws.
The motion argues that the proposed testing goes beyond determining whether paint could be applied to the building and is instead a step toward carrying out the broader project.
