A new storage building is proposed on Block 16, Lot 16.06 in Raritan Township, Hunterdon County. County records describe it as a low-hazard storage building of about 35,000 square feet. That is roughly the footprint of seven large houses. The reported cost is about $2.5 million.
"Low-hazard" is a building-code label. It means the stored goods are not expected to pose a high fire or explosion risk.
The records do not say what is on the lot now, who will use the building, or who is building it. A web search found no developer page, news coverage, meeting agenda, minutes or hearing notice clearly tied to this lot. The explanation therefore rests on the county facts alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic and access effects cannot be assessed from the available records. Storage buildings generally bring fewer daily trips than retail or offices, but this is a general pattern and not a finding for this site.
- Job numbers, utility needs and open-space effects are not stated in the records.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing is dated 2026-09-09. No township board review or approval of this specific project was found online. Typically a project like this needs township site-plan review, and sometimes zoning relief, before construction permits are issued.
