Special Guests
Representatives from groups representing StoneGate and Fillow Ridge Board requested advice in trying to prevent the building of a Mosque on 127 Fillow Street. The group stated that they do not want any development of the site whatsoever. They also stressed traffic issues and congestion in the area as an objection to the project. The WNA board suggested meeting with Spring Hill and Hospital Area Association, CNNA and gave the phone number of a contact from the group building the Mosque. Our intent was for them to start a dialogue and since the likelihood of stopping the project could be remote, work with them to minimize the neighborhood impact. They agreed to call.
