County records describe a new 14,777 square foot building at 900 Clifton Avenue in Clifton. The records say it would be used for a lecture hall, art gallery or church-type purpose. They report a construction cost of about $4.6 million, and the type is listed as institutional.
The records do not say who would own or use the building. They also do not say what is on the site now. The address is the same as Clifton City Hall's, so the record may point to a city-owned site or use an address that does not match the actual project location.
No developer page, news coverage, meeting agenda, or approval specific to this project was found online. The explanation here rests on the county facts alone.
What it could mean nearby
