EPIC City, a massive development project set to be constructed near Plano, Texas, has drawn both enthusiasm and criticism from different sectors of the community. The 402-acre development would be in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties near Josephine, approximately 40 miles northeast of Dallas, and would include a new mosque, more than 1,000 single and multi-family homes, a K-12 faith-based school, senior housing, an outreach center, commercial centers, sports facilities and a community college specifically made for the Muslim community. This project is being developed by the East Plano Islamic Center has been bombarded with negative attention online and at least five investigations from state officials. “We see the reactions of the people of the muslim community and the reactions of people that are Plano residents and neighboring cities as well. We want to make sure that this is a fair representation on both ends between our clients at EPIC City and the residents of Collin County,” according to Anthony Osso, an attorney who works under the Cogdell Law Firm, and Dan Cogdell, the lead attorney representing this project.
