As for it's specific location being closer, I don't know the city well.

However it's also relevant that the building that they'll be tearing down, though once a store, is currently... a mosque.

They just want to build a community center out of it while retaining the prayer space. They describe it like a YMCA and with a pool among other facilities i can't think they're that wrong.
