County records list a proposed new school building called Hurley Place in Fairview Borough, Bergen County. It would be about 128,240 square feet, with a reported construction cost of about $40 million. The county's latest filing on it is dated February 19, 2026.
The records do not say which grades it would serve, how many students it would hold, or what is on the site now.
Online searches did not turn up any page that clearly refers to this project, whether from a developer, a news outlet, or borough minutes. The Fairview school district has publicly discussed a new middle school and an elementary school. Nothing found links either one to Hurley Place, and the middle school's reported size differs from this filing. Those plans are therefore not treated as this project.
What it could mean nearby
- A school of this size could add drop-off and pick-up traffic on nearby streets at certain times of day.
- It could add school capacity in the borough. The records do not say whether it would relieve crowding.
- Records give no information on jobs, open space, or utility changes.
Where it stands
A county planning filing was recorded on 2026-02-19. No borough hearing, approval, or construction start was found online. Next, a school project like this typically needs local planning or land-use review and building permits, along with state education department review if it is a public school.
