President Donald Trump confirmed that construction is underway on a new granite helicopter landing pad for Marine One on the White House South Lawn.
Trump said Sikorsky Aircraft will cover the estimated $5 million to $6 million cost through a contribution to the National Park Service.
The helipad will feature the White House seal carved into granite, Trump said.
The project is designed to accommodate the newer VH-92A presidential helicopters.
The helipad is one of several ongoing renovations at the White House, including a ballroom project, Rose Garden updates and other property improvements.
