(Detroit News) The local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations say[s] it has reached a settlement agreement with the city of Troy that will resolve a lengthy zoning dispute and lawsuit over a mosque.
The settlement clears the way for the city’s first mosque — which recently opened inside the Adam Community Center on Rochester Road ― to be used for religious purposes, four years after CAIR-MI sued the city for rejecting a zoning variance for the building project.
“The settlement is not an admission of liability but clarifies that the property can be used for religious purposes,” the parties said in a joint statement on Tuesday.
