See the Comment Section—over 100 comments all because an Islamic Group wished to build a community center. The real news story here maybe public opinion. Look soon, in six days the newspaper will require you pay a fee.
The Islamic Center of McHenry County is looking to open a community center in an existing home and frame barn on 5 acres at 5008 E. Crystal Lake Ave., just outside of city boundaries. The group, which received tax-exempt status about three years ago, is seeking a conditional use permit from the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals.
