A new school building of about 21,606 square feet is proposed in Lakewood Township, Ocean County, on Block 1159.01, Lot 33. County records put the reported construction cost at $1 million. The latest county filing is dated January 26, 2024.
The records don't say what is on the lot now, which school or organization would use the building, or how many students it would serve. No news coverage, township meeting agenda, hearing notice or developer page was found that clearly refers to this lot. This summary therefore rests on the county facts alone.
