County records show a new storage building of about 46,700 square feet proposed on Block 45, Lot 1.05 in Pilesgrove Township, Salem County. That is roughly the footprint of a large warehouse. The records don't say what will be stored or who will use it.
The township planning board's records list the same lot under Pointers Auburn 1, LLC. The board approved an amended site plan for that lot in 2026, and the approval came with conditions. The lot already has industrial buildings and has been through earlier site plan and variance reviews. The township's posted records don't state that the 2026 approval is for this storage building, so that link is likely but not confirmed. No news coverage or organized opposition was found.
What it could mean nearby
- The lot is already in industrial use, so the building would add to existing activity and not convert open land. The records don't say whether the lot was undeveloped before.
- Truck traffic and site access are typical review topics for a warehouse. The sources found do not give traffic figures.
- No information was found on jobs, schools or utilities.
Where it stands
The planning board granted amended general development plan approval and amended preliminary and final major site plan approval for the lot on June 17, 2026. It put that decision into a formal resolution on July 15, 2026. Next steps are usually meeting the approval conditions, getting construction permits and then building. These steps are inferred from how approvals normally work, not from records for this project.
