A proposed Islamic-focused development in North Texas may be eyeing approval under a new name after developers scrubbed their original website and revised marketing materials amid a storm of state investigations and legislative crackdowns.
The controversial 400-acre project, originally branded as EPIC City — an initiative from the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) — was initially planned for unincorporated areas of Collin and Hunt counties, just north of Josephine, located about 40 miles northeast of Dallas. With a stated vision of 1,000 homes, a mosque and community center, a school, and other facilities tailored to Muslim families, the project stalled earlier this year following a series of legal challenges.
On Nov. 8, Collin County Judge Chris Hill updated residents on Facebook, signaling that developers at Community Capital Partners, LLC (CCP) are gearing up for formal submissions, starting with a name change for the project. "According to a diagram of the planned neighborhood, the developers have changed the name of the project to The Meadow," Hill wrote.
He added that there are “reports that CCP have filed or soon intend to file an application” with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to form its own municipal utility district for The Meadow.
