North Hempstead Appeals Islamic Center Expansion Decision
The Town of North Hempstead has appealed the State Supreme Court's decision in the Hillside Islamic Center case, which may lead to the neighborhood around the center being turned into a parking lot.
The Islamic center's plan, initially rejected by the town, aimed to expand the existing mosque to accommodate its current congregation and reduce traffic impacts on the neighborhood. The plan included building a third story, increasing the center's square footage, and expanding the parking lot onto surrounding parcels of land to provide 63 parking spaces.
The center's plan was rejected by the town before the court ruled in the center's favor.
The appeal seeks to overturn the court's ruling, which would allow the center to proceed with its expansion plans.
