A $175,000 grant for a "jazz cultural center" on Fayetteville Street was pulled from the City Council's agenda tonight and referred back to the city's Office of Economic and Workforce Development.

As the News & Observer reported Sunday, the Mozella McLaughlin family has decided to revise its plans for the cultural center and has withdraw its request for the Neighborhood Economic Development Program grant.

Mozella McLaughlin and her family are re-thinking plans for their Mok'e Jazz Cultural Center, William McLaughlin said this morning, and the Know Book Store is definitely out of the picture.

"We absolutely cannot work with Mr. [Bruce] Bridges," the bookstore's owner, McLaughlin said. "He is out of this project."

The city's role may be up in the air as well, he said, given other "modifications" in the Mok'e Plan that McLaughlin did not specify.
