Kennedy Center put off planned repairs despite known structural issues, former employees allege

Former Kennedy Center employees, represented by lawyer David Seide, allege that leadership ignored structural roofing issues. The whistleblowers claim Executive Director and COO Matt Floca halted a funded plan for waterproofing repairs in April. In a letter to Congress, the group provided internal documents to challenge the Kennedy Center board's assertions that these leaks were the primary cause for the venue's immediate closure, suggesting that the repairs were not treated as priorities by officials.
