Hamilton County Mosque Zoning Issue

February 01, 2018

Today, John Krull talks with some of those close to a controversial zoning issue in Carmel. A group of Muslims living in Hamilton County proposed a new mosque at a site in a residential suburb. Residents oppose the project, citing traffic and property value concerns. Mosque organizers have met the objections with scaled back building plans and say the site is ideal for their worship needs. Both parties made their case at a recent well-attended city council meeting (http://bit.ly/2DNkHvP), and a decision could come this month. Our guests will be Adam Aasen, a reporter in Carmel, Ron Carter, a Carmel Councilman, Juvaria Khan, an attorney with Muslim Advocates and Wafa Safi a teacher.
