The findings indicate the design could detract from dozens of historic places. The proposed development would alter views across Washington. Similar visual impacts would extend toward Arlington Cemetery. The review highlights concerns over the preservation of historic sightlines. Further federal evaluations regarding the project are expected to continue.
