County records describe a proposed new low-hazard storage building of about 112,350 square feet at 705-757 Main Street in Belleville Township, Essex County. That is roughly the footprint of two large big-box stores. The reported construction cost is about $6.5 million.
"Low-hazard" generally means the building would store goods that are not especially flammable or dangerous. The county records do not say what is on the site now, who would use the building, or whether the project has been approved.
No news coverage, township agendas or minutes, or developer page were found that clearly match this address. Other warehouse projects exist nearby on Main Street, but nothing connects them to this one.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic and loading access on Main Street could increase, as with most warehouse uses. The records give no traffic details.
- A building this size might bring some jobs, but the records do not say how many or who would employ them.
- No information was found on schools, housing, open space or utilities.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated July 2024, and no local approval status was found. Projects like this usually go to the township planning board for site plan review. Construction permits follow once approval is granted.
