Monsey - Hatzolah Company Looks To Expand

Monsey - Chevra Hatzoloh of Rockland County is planning to build a garage and parking lot at Grandview Avenue and Route 306 to house two ambulances.
The proposed garage would allow volunteers to maintain, if not improve, their response time by avoiding heavy traffic that often arises near the company's Grove Street headquarters.
The one-floor, 2,475-square-foot garage would be built on a 1-acre lot that was previously the site of a one-family home.
The town's Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the environmental impact of the proposed two-bay garage and adjoining five-space parking lot Tuesday, said First Deputy Town Attorney Alan Berman. And if the town's land-use boards approved the project, construction could begin in six months.
According to U.S. census figures the population of the village of Monsey grew from 13,986 in 1990 to 14,504 in 2000, an increase of 518. Those same figures show a population increase in the village of New Square from 2,605 in 1990 to 5,920 in 2004, an increase of 3,315.
Hatzoloh currently has six ambulances, 110 volunteers and 13 dispatchers.
