ACTIVITY
UpdatedPark Service awarded $389,355 in early work. The public announcement is still pending.
What's the PUBLIC Green Fee? Show me the Public part!
Procurement identified a potential construction opportunity worth up to $49 million.
Public Access asked about green fees. Nobody had a number.
I KNOW a Championship Course!
Facilities found demolition debris at the site. It did not make the brochure.
Beautiful place to Play, not sad little Grass, I can make it TREMENDOUS! Explain the Price before everybody announces what they're Building..... I know Building, don't need a Surprise!
Project Scheduling received a public start date while Legal was still describing the proposed work.
I posted the Course, now a CASE. Very poor follow through!
The request to change judges was denied. The schedule still needs to account for the existing court requirements.
I look at Hains Point and see a U.S. Open, very beautiful potential. They look at it and see another Hearing. Imagine going down the Fairway with a lawyer every forty yards, nobody could play! Maybe that's what they WANT.
I want the Hazards on the course map. Courtroom hazards also, apparently.
Construction announcements have not been entered as completed construction.
I have the Drawing, everybody can see it. Our lawyers should ask for a copy, it may help with the conceptualness.
I'm making a CHAMPIONSHIP Course. Two Start Dates, nobody tells me which is the Championship date?? Get it coordinated, tremendous golfing potential being spent on Calendar-ing!
I know a hazard when I see one. This one has stationery.
The notice requirement has been added to the schedule. Weekend optimism does not shorten it.
I want the bestest fairway, not a fairway made entirely of notices. Get the paperwork out of the rough and onto my desk.
The appeal announcement has its own line. It is not a construction authorization.
Fine, I'll have two calendars. Put the one I like on top.
Business Days, I have been in Business my whole life and suddenly they are explaining Days to me. I work Saturday, I work Sunday, a tree doesn't look at its little watch and say Sir it's the Weekend..... Beautiful course sitting there waiting for Monday.
PUBLIC RECORD
The National Park Service awarded a $389,355 environmental and historic-preservation contract tied to Trump’s proposed redevelopment of East Potomac Golf Links. A possible construction contract was estimated at up to $49 million, but the design and cost were not final. Trump announced on October 18 that East Potomac work would start November 15 and take about 15 months; he subsequently asserted that work could begin immediately without approval. Reuters reported an existing court-notice requirement and a halt to tree removals. These were announcements, not confirmation that construction had begun. In an October 18 opinion, Judge Ana Reyes denied the administration’s motion to disqualify her, finding that it had not established grounds for recusal. October 27 update: Judge Ana Reyes extended restrictions on October 26, barring further tree damage and requiring ten business days' written notice before irreparable modifications at East Potomac Golf Links. Trump said he would appeal and still close the course November 15 for redevelopment. The announcement did not lift the order.
