WASHINGTON (7News) — Preservation groups asked a federal judge Saturday to immediately halt redevelopment plans at East Potomac Park, alleging federal officials are moving ahead with a sweeping golf course overhaul and tree removal project without completing required environmental and historic preservation reviews.
The motion, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. by the D.C. Preservation League and other plaintiffs, seeks an emergency status conference and a temporary stay or preliminary injunction blocking additional work at East Potomac Golf Course and surrounding parkland.
