A 6.4-acre area off of Meadow Road near Princeton Presbyterian Church is the future home of the West Windsor Korean Community Center. This project, which was until recently in the conceptual/fundraising phase, is now moving closer to reality. Begun by a dozen individuals who created the Korean Community Center of Greater Princeton (KCCGP), the group, which now has nearly 100 founding members, has been fundraising since 2007 to raise enough money to construct the center.
“Last year we were able to purchase the land from the Presbyterian Church, led by Rev. Dr. Kenneth Smith,” said Young Lee, incoming president of KCCGP. “They were interested in selling the land to a religious or non-profit institution, and we were looking to buy land in the area. It was a perfect opportunity.” Added Young: “The church members have been kind supporters of our organization and allowed us to use their facilities for events in the past 12 to 18 months as we got the building off the ground.”
