The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A new school building of about 32,521 square feet is proposed on Block 524.36, Lot 9 in Lakewood Township, Ocean County. County planning records, with a latest filing dated April 15, 2026, describe it as a new educational building.
No developer website, news story, or township agenda or minutes could be tied to this exact lot. The records found don't say what is on the site now, who would run the school, how many students it would serve, or whether anyone has objected.
For scale, a building this size is roughly the footprint of a mid-sized private school or a small public elementary school.
Where it stands
The county shows a filing as of April 2026. No hearing or approval for this lot was found online. A school like this usually needs site plan approval from the township planning board, and a hearing notice is normally mailed to nearby property owners before that vote.
