US: Brookfield residents consider mosque proposal

BROOKFIELD, Wis. - Brookfield residents gathered Wednesday night to discuss a proposed plan to build a local mosque.

Brookfield officials and mosque representatives answered residents' questions Wednesday.

Some residents said the proposal made them feel uncomfortable. Most residents said they supported the mosque.

"I'm hoping that we can move forward with it so that our community can learn more about the Muslim faith and the Muslim people," Brookfield resident Diane Errath said.

The plan commission is expected to make a recommendation on the proposal on May 7.
