WASHINGTON (AP) - A key planning agency is set to consider expansion plans for the Kennedy Center.

At a meeting on Thursday, the National Capital Planning Commission will review proposals by the Kennedy Center to connect its facilities with the Potomac River waterfront. The center would prefer to build a bridge with a ramp and stairs.

The Kennedy Center is in the midst of a $100 million expansion that’s meant, in part, to get the waterfront building more in touch with the river. Previously, the center had proposed building a floating stage on the Potomac, but officials backed away from those plans.

The planning commission is the central planning agency for the federal government in Washington.
