TV evangelist Creflo Dollar is looking to expand his ministries to the Bronx, New York by purchasing the Kingsbridge Armory. Dollar recently made a proposal to finance the development of the 5-acre facility.
Dollar “wants to turn it into a multi-use facility,” one source told the NYPost.com. “He’s got a huge following and needs an arena.” Dollar offered to put up his own money for the renovations, the only bidder to do so.
The proposal is coming with it’s share of criticism because the facility is currently city-owned. The city recently blocked plans for a major company to build a $310 million dollar retail development.
If approved, Dollar would keep his other church location in Georgia which seats 8,500 people.
Some of the proponents against Dollar argue that a church can’t create enough jobs, and site Creflo Dollars’ prosperity teaching and extravagant lifestyle. Dollar travels in a gulfstream jet, and brings in more then $65 million dollars a year through his ministries.
The property would serve as a arena for rent, and a worship center.
