Bartlett votes down mosque plan, citing traffic concerns
“I personally don’t have a problem with a mosque in Bartlett,” said Alderman Jack Young, who also sits on the Planning Commission. “I want to make that very clear. I just think it’s a bad plan for that location.” (Ziggy Mack/Special to The Daily Memphian file)
Bartlett officials have rejected plans for a mosque near a five-way intersection despite claims from the ACLU that the city could face a legal challenge.
