A high school with a dormitory is proposed on Cross Street in Lakewood Township, Ocean County. The county record lists the applicant as Yeshiva Gedolah of Brick, doing business as Mesivta Tiferes Shmuel. This is a religious boys' school, and a dormitory means students would live on site.
The building would be about 12,000 square feet on a site of roughly 1.2 acres, which is a small lot. The county record doesn't say what is on the site now. It also doesn't say how many students or beds are planned.
The search found no news coverage, township agendas, hearing notices or developer web page about this project. The explanation here rests on the county filing, which was last updated in January 2024.
