A proposal to build a $100 million mosque and community center two blocks from the World Trade Center site won unanimous approval from members of a downtown community-board committee last night.
“I like everything I’ve heard about this,” said Ro Sheffe, chairman of Community Board 1’s Financial District Committee.
The 13-story building would occupy the site of the former Burlington Coat Factory on Park Place. A vote by the full board will be held later this month.
