North West Islamic Community Center Grand Opening in Plymouth

The North West Islamic Community Center grand opening celebration is 10 a.m. Saturday, July 7, at its new location, 3300 Plymouth Blvd in Plymouth. The Center is in part of the Post Office building.

According to a Center press release, the event will bring together residents of Plymouth and the surrounding cities, Muslim community leaders and interfaith groups.

The event will feature a “Get to Know Your Muslim Neighbors” presentation. It will also include a 1K walk/5K run, scavenger hunt, face painting, henna art, bazaar and other family activities. Lunch will be served for invited guests.

Last August, the Plymouth City Council approved the new Islamic center after hearing from residents during a packed public meetings. The Council granted a conditional use permit for the religious activity for the Center.

The Center was purchased for $770,000 and remodeled from being the city’s former post office building in downtown Plymouth so it could be used as an educational, spiritual, and community center. The new building will accommodate the growing Muslim community. The Center is leasing out the front portion of the property to the post office.

The Center is a non-profit organization established in 2009 by residents of Plymouth and the surrounding cities.
