SCRANTON – A religious community center in Scranton is pursuing an injunction over construction taking place on the site of its summer camp, charging that the unapproved construction violates the terms of a 2005 property sale agreement that the defendants pledged to abide by.
The Jewish Community Center of Scranton filed suit in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas on April 19 versus Michael Hatala of Old Forge, and Dominick Policare and The Childrens Free Campground Facilities Foundation, both of Wyoming, Pa.
In December 2005, the JCC entered into an agreement with defendants Hatala and Policare for the sale of the property at issue, 100 acres of land in Covington Township, located in Lackawanna County. Four parcels of that land were sold in the deal for $500,000.
