Brentwood, TN
description: Having outgrown their cramped rental space on Carothers Street in Brentwood, TN, the Islamic Center of Williamson County (ICWC) submits plans to rezone a 14-acre plot of land to construct a 12,000-square foot mosque and community center in April 2010. After a series of public hearings before the City Commission, ICWC withdraws its rezoning request because the city’s restrictions on the site, which include $450,000 for a turn lane, ultimately make the project untenable.
