Construction is underway on the White House lawn for a new helipad. The project is intended to accommodate more powerful presidential helicopters. A granite helipad is being built on the South Lawn.

The project is privately funded, with an estimated cost of up to $6 million. The helipad will feature the White House seal in carved granite.

Further details on the project, including its timeline, are not available in this report, but can be found through the source, KSAT 12.
