Word has it that the building and development of the Gospel Complex for Education, Heritage & Preservation is being put on hold, indefinitely, because of a lack of funding.

The concept of the ambitious 90,000-square foot complex, in development for nearly 5 years at this point, has had its fair share of problems.

Originally, the complex, spearheaded in large part by Dr. Bobby Jones, was to be built in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and would include a museum, television recording studio, retail space, a conference center, banquet facility, classrooms and studios.  The Gospel Complex was even named after Dr. Jones for some time, until organizers thought it better to drop any names from its title.

Among the Board of Directors of the non-profit organization creating the Gospel Complex are Bobby Jones, Albertina Walker, Max Siegel, Kim Burrell, Jazzy Jordan and more.  For more information on the Gospel Complex, click here.

It’s unfortunate that it couldn’t come into being just yet… what do you think?  Would you have wanted to visit?  Do you think we need a facility like this?  Do you think Florida was a good site location for it?
