Trumps Helipads

At his Winter White House in Florida, the Mar-a-Lago helipad has been tightly regulated by the town. The helipad installed during his first term was destroyed shortly after he left office. It's set to be rebuilt in the coming months, now that Trump is back in office. Recently, the town considered granting permission for the pad to remain past the end of Trump's presidency. Two large helipad will be installed. Then there are the large fuel tanks, maintenance shops, and what ever an ex presidents wants. Late last year, Mar-a-Lago representatives came back to Town Hall with the request to reinstall a larger pad to accommodate newer helicopters used to carry the president and White House staff and officials. The Landmarks Preservation Commission, which oversees any exterior changes at landmarked Mar-a-Lago, approved the design for the pad in October. The new pad is planned to be 8 inches deep, with an 18-foot-long and 5-foot-wide walkway connected to a nearby service road. The landing area would be on Mar-a-Lago's west lawn, in the same location where it was from 2017 to 2021. Construction is expected to take place this summer.
