Syrian refugee haven planned at former Pontiac Michigan-school and neighborhood
Plans are in motion to build a Syrian refugee haven around an abandoned Pontiac elementary school.
The project is the brainchild of some Metro Detroit Syrian-American refugee advocates.
Local businessman Ismael Basha is one of the project’s organizers.
Basha says he and a partner have purchased the former Franklin Elementary School, along with about 120 vacant lots surrounding the school.
“Our vision is to remodel the school, and turn it into a community and social service center, [for both] the new arriving local refugees and the local community,” says Basha.
