County records list a new educational building of about 54,071 square feet at Wood-Ridge and 12th in Wood-Ridge Borough, Bergen County. The county classifies it as a school. The latest county filing is dated June 19, 2024.
No developer, school district, or borough document was found that clearly describes this project. The records don't say who would own or run the building, what grades it would serve, or what is on the site now. The explanation here rests on the county facts alone.
Some borough documents from late 2025 mention school improvements and a bond ordinance. They cover existing schools and don't mention a 12th Street site, so they are not treated as being about this project.
What it could mean nearby
- A school of this size could bring more drop-off and pick-up traffic and more pedestrian activity near the site on school days.
- Jobs and construction activity would likely come with building the project, but no figures are available.
- Effects on enrollment, open space, and utilities can't be judged from the available records.
Where it stands
The county filing suggests the project was in the review or filing stage as of mid-2024. No approvals or hearings were found online. Typically a local land use or planning board reviews the site plan next, followed by construction permits.
