Kiryas Square
Kiryas Square is a planned 400-acre (1.6 km2) Skver hasidic "shtetl" in the hamlet of Spring Glen, New York, prompted by a housing shortage in the village of New Square. The property, former Homowack Resort, was purchased by the Skver community in 2006.[1] Dedication of the site was in August 2007.[2] The New York State Department of Health cited the property which was used as a summer camp for girls for “numerous, persistent and serious violations,” including inoperable fire alarms, pervasive mold and water running over electrical boxes. The health department issued a mandatory order of evacuation. In addition to problems with the health department, some local residents have also voiced opposition to the building of a hasidic village. The site was evacuated in August 2009 as a result of a judge’s deadline.[3]
