The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A building permit has been filed for a new day care building at 6720 Washington Avenue in Egg Harbor Township. It would care for both children and adults, in a group of six or more at a time. The building would be about 14,000 square feet. The reported construction cost is about $2.2 million.
The county records don't say what is on the site now. No developer, operator, or brand was found. No news coverage, meeting agendas, hearing notices, or opposition were found for this address.
What it could mean nearby
- A day care of this size would likely bring drop-off and pick-up traffic on Washington Avenue at morning and evening peak times.
- The facility would likely create jobs for staff, but the records give no number.
Where it stands
A building permit filing was recorded on 2026-04-23. A permit is normally issued after the local construction office reviews the plans. Any needed land-use approvals and a state child care license usually come before the facility can open, but none were found online.
