New Square, NY - The village is considering a plan to allow a business to build a large slaughterhouse to process poultry on Route 45 bordering New Hempstead.

New Square Deputy Mayor Israel Spitzer said the proposed facility would enable a business already in the village to expand - keeping numerous jobs in Rockland.

"The applicant is planning to build a better type of plant which is going to be fully automated and up to code with all types of new efficiencies," he said.

The proposed 50,730-square-foot facility would be built in a new industrial park located at the intersection of Route 45, across from Rovitz Place, according to documents.

Neighbors who live in New Hempstead, across the street from the vacant piece of land where the plant is proposed, are worried about odors and other forms of pollution from the slaughterhouse.

"This is a residential neighborhood and if they build this, the whole area is going to smell like chickens," said Althea Mundy, who has lived on Elizabeth Court, near the planned site of the facility, for 13 years. "How can you put a slaughterhouse in the middle of a residential area?"

New Square had planned to hold a public hearing on the plan tonight. But Spitzer said this afternoon that the applicant requested that the meeting be rescheduled.

"They weren't ready to go ahead tonight," he said.

The meeting will likely be rescheduled for August, he said.

I doubt it's gonna happen. New Hempstead has always been very good with keeping the residents - including frum, Radin notwithstanding - very happy. The mayor is a mensch who cares about the people he represents, and I don't see them allowing a shlacht hoyz if it borders the village - even doctor offices are illegal in New Hempstead, forget about chicken slaughterhouses.

It is Legal to have a doctor's office in New Hempstead. It does not look the decision is up to the Village of New Hempstead. It is on the border and I think St. Lawrence gets to choose.

If they allow this thing to happen eventually you will find headless cows wandering the roads. Of course they will blame it on students but we all know that they will have transformed the chicken factory into a cow factory. Beware you are heading into the dark unknown. Danger lurks. The value of your property will border on zilch.

Before all the usual suspects start screaming gevalt and that the neighbors are a bunch of antisemitim, think about the question of whether you would want have a shchlacthois built across from your home. This has nothing to do with the Bobover and the bochurim practicing their shechita skills. This is a simple question of quality of life and the reasonable expectations of the neighbors, both jewish or otherwise. I think most frumme yidden would rather become vegetarians than have a schlacthois as their neighbor.

There are already a number of (non-kosher) slaughterhouses in the Bronx, which is friendly towards Jews and is looking to increase economic development. We have industrially zoned areas that are far from residential areas. The new Borough President, Ruben Diaz, Jr. (son of the State Senator) is a great friend to the Jewish community. Please consider the Bronx for all industrial development such as this.

Why would you want to put a smelly shacht hois into such a crowded city when there is so much more open space in Monsey. There is plenty of room in KJ itself for such a facility and clearly the people there would appreciate it more than those who live near yankee stadium or motts point.

This will not be some fly-by-night chicken shoichthaus run by a bunch of Bobover "shoichets"; this will be a vonderful Satmer shoichthaus using the most modern technology and employing only the best Satmer shoichtim. Any community should want to have such a top of the line facility as their neighbor.
