Construction on a new White House helipad has taken a notable step, with crews dismantling a granite seal. The seal was intended to be part of the new landing spot for Marine One. Photos show workers using a jackhammer on the helipad, and the presidential seal that was visible last week is no longer there.

The reason for the seal's removal is unclear. The White House has stated that it is continuing to make improvements to the building and its grounds. This project is reportedly related to the need for a new helipad to accommodate more powerful helicopters.

Further details on the project and its potential delays can be found through NewsChannel 5 WTVF's reporting on the matter.
