COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – It’s been just over a year since ground was broken for a new American Moslem Society Islamic Center at 129 Perkins Street.
Plans call for the nearly $3.5 million project to feature a mosque and learning center.
American Moslem Society board member and project manager Musa Ahmed of Coldwater told the City Council last month the building has been enclosed in time to work on the interior during the winter.
He told the Council there have been several challenges.
As Mayor Tom Kramer and Ahmed pointed out, there’s no exact opening date yet.
The original plan for the two story structure was approved by the Coldwater Planning Commission back in July 2018. They approved a Special Land Use permit for the project in February of 2020, just before the first COVID-19 cases were reported in Michigan.
The ensuing COVID-19 pandemic delayed the start of work on the Islamic Center which is being built on two-and-a-quarter acres of land.
