If it is an existing Synagogue relocating, i.e. from one place on the island to another, is it really a "new" place of worship? or just one that is moving its' location?
Semantics?

On arrival I had noticed a large white Tent with banquet tables on the site of the Anand Indian Rest. The restaurant had been closed. We had intentions of dinning there. Upon inquiring, a businessman friend had informed me of what had transpired. He said that a local Synagogue was relocating to that site. He believed that it was new construction. In the mean time we dined at the Indian Restaurant next door above the grocery store which was fine.

the local synagogue held services in a rented building. they actually did not own a building of their own. they have now bought the property mentioned above and will have their own synagogue there.

You are referring to Chabad of St Maarten which is currently located above Zee Best in Simpson Bay. They acquired the building and announced plans to build a new center there. The story was on the front page of the Daily Herald on Monday, December 29th I think. I'm sure someone here, who is more tech savvy than me, can find it and post it for all to read.
