Judge Grants Injunction in Favor of Megachurch, Halting Warehouse Construction in Southern Dallas
A civil court judge has issued an injunction temporarily halting the construction of an industrial warehouse in Southern Dallas, siding with Friendship-West Baptist Church in their legal battle against Stonelake Capital Partners. Friendship-West sought the injunction, citing concerns about increased truck traffic, noise pollution, and safety hazards to students near the proposed 200,000 square foot building on Wheatland Road. The church argued that the project exemplified environmental racism, highlighting Dallas' history of zoning industrial sites near low-income, predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods. Despite the city of Dallas initially denying the building permit, the decision was overturned by a quasi-judicial board, leading the church to take legal action. The case is now set for trial on April 19, 2025, following the granted injunction.
