The county records describe a new educational building of about 34,850 square feet at the rear of 669 Avenue A in Bayonne. That address is the Bayonne High School campus.
News coverage points to a new Hudson County Schools of Technology building for career and technical training. It would stand where the high school's tennis courts were. The architect described it as two stories and about 36,000 square feet, which is close to the county figure. It would offer cosmetology and building-trades programs such as mechanical, electrical and plumbing. The school was projected to serve about 200 students with 20 to 25 teachers and staff.
The city Planning Board approved the plan unanimously, and board members raised parking as a concern. Construction was projected to take about 14 months. A later report says the tennis courts were removed to make room for the school.
What it could mean nearby
- Parking was raised at the Planning Board hearing, so campus parking and drop-off could affect nearby streets.
- About 200 students and 20 to 25 staff would add daily activity around the high school campus.
- The high school's tennis courts were removed from the site, and the county later renamed public courts at a county park.
- The school adds career training in cosmetology and the building trades.
Where it stands
The Planning Board approved the project, and the county's building permit was filed in January 2024. Construction has likely started or finished since then, but no current update was found. Next steps would be inspections and a certificate of occupancy before students move in.
