(KERA) The Collin County commissioners’ court heard hours of public testimony mostly opposing a proposed Muslim community development at a recent meeting.
The East Plano Islamic Center, one [of] the largest mosques in North Texas, is planning a development to accommodate the area’s growing Muslim community. The project, known as EPIC City, would be located 40 miles northeast of Dallas in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties near the city of Josephine.
It would include a new mosque, more than 1,000 single and multi-family homes, a K-12 faith-based school, senior housing, an outreach center, commercial developments, sports facilities, and a community college.
