The Jewish school that lost its bid to buy the Grace Baptist Church in Nanuet has filed a petition against Clarkstown’s Zoning Board of Appeals in state Supreme Court in New City. The board had refused to hear Ateres Bais Yaacov Academy of Rockland’s appeal after the board decided the school couldn’t operate from the church. Clarkstown supervisor George Hoehmann calls the action “ridiculously frivolous”…
Last year the school announced it would be relocating from its modular units on Summit Road in New Hempstead to Nanuet. Area residents had voiced concerns about traffic and overcrowding if the school were to move into the Church Street location.
