The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A site plan has been filed with the county for a detox and inpatient treatment facility on Route 9 in Berkeley Township. The building would be about 56,560 square feet, roughly the size of a large medical office building, on a 3.5-acre site.
The filing lists 170 Route 9 LLC as the property-side firm and Morgan Engineering & Surveying as the site designer. The county record does not say what is on the site now, who would run the facility, or how many beds it would have.
No news coverage, township agendas or minutes, or developer web pages were found for this specific project. Other detox proposals in Berkeley Township turned up in searches, but none could be tied to this site or developer, so they are not used here.
What it could mean nearby
- Route 9 is a major state highway, so driveway access and traffic would likely be reviewed, but no traffic study was found.
- A building of this size would likely bring staff jobs, though no staffing figures were found.
- Utility, drainage and lot-coverage effects on a 3.5-acre site would be examined during site plan review.
Where it stands
A site plan was filed with the county, with the latest filing on 2024-12-04. No township approval or hearing outcome was found online. Next, the township land use board would usually review the plan at a public hearing, and a use variance could be needed if the zoning does not allow this use.
