New Square considers plan for poultry
slaughterhouse
on Route 45

is considering a plan
to allow a business to build a large poultry slaughterhouse on Route
45 across the street from New Hempstead. The proposed
50,730-square-foot facility would be built in a new industrial park

would be built - said they are worried about odors and other forms
