A new storage building of about 61,025 square feet is proposed on Hewitt Avenue in Hamilton Township. County records list a construction cost of $500,000 and classify it as a moderate-hazard storage use, meaning the stored goods carry a moderate fire risk.
Township agendas from 2022 list a self-storage proposal on Hewitt Avenue. It has eight buildings totaling about 60,525 square feet, plus a billboard, and needed a use variance. The size is close to the county figure, so it is probably the same project, but the match is not certain. The agendas could not be opened in full, so the site's current condition, approval outcome and occupant are unconfirmed.
