In late June, Dar-us-Salaam signed a contract to purchase the 66-acre Woodmont Academy campus in Cooksville, Maryland, a small town about 15 miles west of Ellicott City. The initial $10 million price was negotiated down to $8 million over the last several months; the contract includes a study period of up to 9 months to allow for zoning approvals. Searching for a new home has been a top priority for Dar-us-Salaam's leadership for the last 8 years. "I would say we've looked at least 200 properties," Dar-us-Salaam founder and Imam Safi Khan told the congregation at the conclusion of the Dar-us-Salaam Hifz School and Qur'an Programs iftar program held at the University of Maryland's Ritchie Coliseum. A "major announcement" was advertised as part of the Hifz School iftar program. In 2010, Dar-us-Salaam signed a contract to purchase an industrial building on about 10 acres in Beltsville, Maryland but due to several factors the deal did not go through. A Muslim realtor and long time community member brought the Woodmont property to Dar-us-Salaam's attention in early January of this year.READ MORE... The full build out of the future Dar-us-Salaam Education and Community Campus in this preliminary conceptual drawing includes a perimeter of tall trees for privacy and a stream, walking and biking paths, and flower garden going all around the campus. Most of the parking will be underground and lie beneath the courtyard. Board members say they want to preserve green space and the natural setting and that despite the expense, underground parking is a good long term investment.
