Developer Chris Collins, a realtor and owner of Hawk Eye Capital, says he doesn't want to demolish the church but rather move it to Grapevine Springs Park next to the senior center. "The purpose of Hawk Eye is to create business ownership, not business tenants," he said. "Being a real estate agent, I wouldn't tell a couple to get married and rent an apartment for 20 years. We know the value of home ownership. We want to do the same for businesses."
