福克斯新闻独家首发—— 福克斯数字新闻获悉，肯尼迪中心董事会希望将这座著名艺术机构的场地命名为“唐纳德·J·特朗普总统广场”，这是该中心在推进全面翻新工程之际，董事会为表彰总统推出的多项新举措之一。
福克斯数字新闻获取的信息显示，董事会还希望在该基金达到1亿美元捐赠额后，在建筑上刻上“特朗普肯尼迪中心基金捐赠”字样。
这些此前未被报道的举措出台之前，董事会于周四投票通过了一项铭文，以表彰特朗普对美国文化中心的修复和翻新，并批准了该综合体部分关闭以进行翻新工程。

据一位知情人士透露，承认特朗普贡献的决议以20票赞成、3票反对的绝对多数通过，而部分关闭的决议则以23票赞成、3票反对通过。
该人士称，罗德岛州民主党参议员谢尔顿·怀特豪斯，以及俄亥俄州民主党众议员乔伊斯·比蒂和华盛顿州民主党众议员里克·拉森在两项决议中都投了反对票。
董事会的决议要求在该中心名称下方刻字：“约翰·F·肯尼迪纪念表演艺术中心由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统修复翻新”。
董事会表示，在特朗普总统从国会获得2.57亿美元资金以解决数十年的拖延维护问题后，他们希望表彰特朗普对肯尼迪中心的贡献。

董事会还根据库珀法官的命令进行的独立分析，批准了部分关闭计划。肯尼迪中心表示，该计划将留下340万美元的盈余，而另一种涉及四年轮流关闭的替代方案预计将产生7800万美元的赤字。
这项大规模翻新工程将解决渗水问题、损坏的电气室、停车场数百处结构失效点，以及已达到“使用寿命末期”、构成公共安全风险的2000多磅重的拱腹面板。
肯尼迪中心发言人告诉福克斯数字新闻：“肯尼迪中心董事会重申了我们对美国文化中心负责任管理的坚定承诺。在董事会的信心和主席特朗普总统前所未有的支持下，这项具有历史意义的振兴项目可以启动，确保肯尼迪中心在下一阶段发展后成为一个更强大、更具韧性的艺术家园，为未来几代观众和艺术家服务。”

在部分关闭期间，免费的千禧舞台节目、电影活动、教育项目和肯尼迪纪念馆展览将在REACH区域继续举办。
美国国家交响乐团将在华盛顿特区周边地区以及全国其他场馆举办2026-2027古典乐季演出。
此次最新举措出台之前，一名联邦法官阻止了早前将该中心以特朗普命名的尝试，以及早前的关闭计划。
白宫发言人莉兹·赫斯顿在给福克斯数字新闻的一份声明中表示：“在特朗普总统的大胆领导下，肯尼迪中心正朝着成为全球最优秀的文化机构迈进。”

约翰·F·肯尼迪图书馆以及肯尼迪的孙子杰克·施洛斯伯格——他一直对该中心直言不讳——没有立即回应福克斯数字新闻的置评请求。

Trump honors America’s cultural icons in Oval Office: ‘Most accomplished class ever’
President Donald Trump hosts Kennedy Center Honorees in the Oval Office, Saturday, greeting George Strait, Sylvester Stallone, KISS, Gloria Gaynor and Michael Crawford ahead of the 48th annual Honors.

FIRST ON FOX — The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees wants to name the famed arts institution’s grounds the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza,” one of several new ways the board is seeking to honor the president as the center moves ahead with a sweeping renovation, Fox News Digital has learned.
The board also wants the words “Endowed by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund” inscribed on the building once the fund reaches a $100 million endowment, according to information obtained by Fox News Digital.
The previously unreported moves come after the board voted Thursday to add an inscription crediting Trump with restoring and renovating America’s cultural center, and approved a partial closure of the complex for renovations.
KENNEDY CENTER BOARD MEMBER KNOCKS SEN WHITEHOUSE FOR IGNORING INVITES AS DEM FEUDS WITH TRUMP-RUN LANDMARK

The resolution recognizing Trump’s contributions passed by a 20-3 supermajority vote, while the partial-closure resolution passed 23-3, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Democratic Reps. Joyce Beatty of Ohio and Rick Larsen of Washington voted “no” on both resolutions, the source said.
The board’s resolution calls for an inscription below the name of the center reading, “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.”
The board said it wants to recognize Trump’s contributions to the Kennedy Center after the president secured $257 million from Congress to address decades of deferred maintenance.

The board also approved a partial closure following an independent analysis conducted in accordance with Judge Cooper’s orders. The Kennedy Center said the plan would leave a $3.4 million surplus, compared with a projected $78 million deficit under an alternative involving four years of revolving closures.
The massive renovation will address water infiltration, damaged electrical rooms, hundreds of structural failure points in the parking garage and 2,000-plus-pound soffit panels that have reached “end-of-life” status and present a public safety risk.
“The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to the responsible stewardship of America’s Cultural Center. With the confidence of the Board and Chairman President Trump’s unprecedented support, this historic revitalization project can commence, ensuring the Kennedy Center emerges from this next chapter as a stronger, more resilient home for the arts — one that will serve audiences and artists for generations to come,” a Kennedy Center spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Free Millennium Stage programs, film events, educational programming and the JFK memorial exhibit will remain available at the REACH during the partial closure.
The National Symphony Orchestra will perform its 2026-2027 Classical Season at venues around the Washington, D.C., area and across the country.
The latest moves come after a federal judge blocked an earlier effort to rename the center after Trump, along with an earlier closure plan.
“Under President Trump’s bold leadership, the Kennedy Center is on its way to becoming the finest cultural institution anywhere in the world,” White House spokeswoman Liz Huston said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
