County records describe a proposed low-hazard storage building in Carneys Point Township, Salem County. It would be a single warehouse-type structure of about 1.23 million square feet, which is very large. The reported construction cost is roughly $166.5 million. The site is listed as Block 255, Lot 12.
The records do not say what is on the site now, who would occupy the building, or who is building it. "Low-hazard storage" is a building-code label. It means the building would hold goods that are not especially flammable or dangerous.
No news coverage, meeting agendas or developer pages were found that clearly match this site, name or size. Other large warehouse projects exist in Carneys Point, but none could be tied to this one. The description here rests on the county facts alone.
What it could mean nearby
- A building this size would typically bring truck and worker traffic, but no traffic study was found for this site.
