Over the past several weeks’ several people have asked, “What’s being constructed along Route 22 between Peru and Keeseville?” Jehovah’s Witness spokesman Ray Ritchie explained., “Local contractors and numerous volunteers from a number of surrounding states collaborated to build a new Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Peru, New York. Work began on May 1, 2022 and will be completed on September 17, 2022. This is just one of 7952 such buildings in the US, with 415 Kingdom Halls in New York state, all intended to stand as Bible education centers and in their communities.”
The Covid pandemic and the issues associated with it delayed construction. The Kingdom Hall first appeared on the Peru Planning Board’s agenda in March 2019. Ritchie added, “Jehovah’s Witnesses work hard to be good neighbors and happily cooperate with their local town officials and inspectors. The Peru, New York construction project was no exception. When the local municipality was not in favor of a commercial look, designers were quick to accommodate, making the roof of the Kingdom Hall a more traditional, pitched style to better suit the neighborhood.”
The Kingdom Hall is located at 2545 Route 22, Peru, NY 12972.

I grew up in Peru, graduated from PCS, married and started our family as residents. My family, parents, sister and I are life long Jehovah’s Witnesses. The new Kingdom Hall on Rt 22 is an attractive building. Fits in the area nicely. I think you will find JW’s are good neighbors and want their place of worship to be well maintained. Like all citizen of this country we also appreciate the religious freedom to worship our God peacefully and quietly. Thank you for letting us build in my great former residence.
