A 54,060-square-foot self-storage facility is proposed on a 5.5-acre site on Dugan Lane in Toms River Township, Ocean County. The county lists it as a retail and commercial project. The developer is shown as Montar Group, LLC, and Bohler Engineering is the engineering firm on the filing.
The latest county filing is dated January 17, 2024. Self-storage buildings usually hold rentable units for household and business belongings. They tend to be quiet neighbors with few daily visitors, compared with shops or restaurants.
No news coverage, township meeting agendas, hearing notices, approvals, opposition or developer project page were found for this site. The county records do not say what is on the land now or who would run the facility.
What it could mean nearby
- Self-storage typically brings fewer car trips than retail of the same size, but the county records do not include a traffic study.
- The 5.5-acre site would gain about 54,000 sq ft of buildings. The records do not say how much open space or tree cover would remain.
- Self-storage usually adds few permanent jobs and no new students for schools. This project's records do not give staffing figures.
Where it stands
A filing with the county was made on 2024-01-17. No township approval or denial was found online. Projects like this usually need site plan approval from the township land use board, followed by construction permits.
