Kennedy Center Director Tells Court Building Will Be Closed For A Week—‘Unless Extended’

The Kennedy Center main building will be closed for at least one week for emergency repairs, according to Executive Director Matt Floca in court filings. The Justice Department asserts this closure is unrelated to the Trump-aligned board's plans for long-term renovations. This legal declaration follows comments from Trump suggesting the building could be ripped down. Floca noted the closure will last one week unless it is extended, while the administration maintains the repairs are strictly emergency-based.
