In Ramadan 2019, the Khair community was informed at our annual Ramadan fundraising dinner about plans to install a temporary modular building on the Egypt Rd site, based on the analysis of the options and current needs presented to the community.
Once we submitted our proposal to the township, they began to require things the township did not communicate to us early on (such as having to go back to the zoning hearing board, as well as other requirements for the modular structure. Due to this hurdle, we submitted an alternative proposal to the township (a Phase 1 permanent building functioning as prayer space, classrooms, and some other auxiliary uses.). The township accepted the proposal without requiring us to go back to the zoning hearing board. Based on the this information and looking at all our available options, it was decided to abandon the modular space option and instead focus on the building permit to the township for construction of the Phase 1 permanent structure.
The architecture and engineering process of the Phase 1 building is underway and we will keep the community updated as we move through this process.
