Where will the mosque and school relocate during demolition and reconstruction?

Pierre Downing

So during the demo and construction phase of the project, the masjid has been working collaboratively with other faith-based organizations in the community to set up a temporary location, and I'll let the imam speak to that.

Imam Rodney Adib Rashid

Yeah, thank you.

Imam Rodney Adib Rashid

Yeah, we have, we work with the community board three on Fulton Street, and we have two spaces when we're ready to go.

Imam Rodney Adib Rashid

We have a promise and a commitment from them.

Imam Rodney Adib Rashid

We can use that until construction is over.

Farah N. Louis

Okay.
