At least $60 million in National Park Service (NPS) funds are going toward Washington, D.C.-based projects as President Trump seeks to “beautify” the city ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary, contracts reveal.
Projects that aim to improve city fountains and memorials are being funded by NPS funds that are collected through the Recreation Enhancement Fee Program.
This program receives funding from visitor entrance fees.
