Mixed sentiments toward Muslim-focused community in Lino Lakes, city considering moratorium [View all]
Mixed sentiments toward Muslim-focused community in Lino Lakes, city considering moratorium
Support and disapproval continues in the north metro surrounding a major development with a mosque as its center point.
While Monday’s Lino Lakes City Council meeting did not have the development on the agenda, it was the main focus for community members who spoke during public comment.
‘Madinah Lakes’ would be a 156-acre site that includes housing, a daycare, grocery store and other retail, but its developer, Faraaz Yussuf, feels the community’s concerns are rooted in the place of worship.
“We’ve got a plan to build a mosque in the middle, which is the biggest contention point in this development,” Yussuf said.

Just one question: was there any discussion on moratorium on development before this plan was presented?
