Hasidic investors looking at ex-resort
A group of Satmar Hasidic investors are trying to renovate the crumbling buildings at a former summer resort, possibly with an eye to starting a religious community there.
Hasidic religious school Sheri Torah has requested the Village of South Blooming Grove to consider site-plan approval for a shul at Lake Anne's former recreation hall. The school now operates out of a converted warehouse on Larkin Drive in the Town of Monroe.
Owners of the school are part of the Satmar Hasidic community opposed to the current leadership in the Village of Kiryas Joel. The group would be renting the building from the owners of the property, Blue Rose Estates, a Brooklyn-based limited liability company consisting of Hasidic investors.
Representatives of the school could not be reached Thursday for comment.
Lake Anne is not listed for religious use, so the Village Board would have to grant a special use permit as part of the approval process. The applicant is scheduled to appear before the village Planning Board on June 24.
