The full picture AI research · Nov 2, 2026
A very large storage and warehouse building is proposed at 1200 John Galt Way in Florence Township, on Block 158, Lot 7. County records give its floor area as about 728,204 square feet. That is roughly the footprint of more than twelve football fields.
Township planning board records show the site as a Phase 2 project by Whitesell Construction. An agenda for August 27, 2024 lists an amended preliminary major site plan for a building of that size. Minutes from September 23, 2025 show a major final site plan application for the same lot. The documents could not be read in full, so the outcomes of those hearings and any tenant are not confirmed. No news coverage or organized opposition was found.
The site sits among existing warehouses along John Galt Way. The lot next door, at 1100 John Galt Way, already has a warehouse.
What it could mean nearby
- A building this size would likely mean regular truck and employee traffic on John Galt Way and nearby routes, though no traffic study was reviewed.
- Warehouses of this scale usually bring jobs, but no employment figures or tenant were found.
- The area is already an established warehouse district, so the building adds to existing industrial use and is not a new use.
Where it stands
The township planning board has handled site plan applications for this lot, with a preliminary amendment listed in 2024 and a final site plan in 2025. The outcomes were not confirmed. After final site plan approval, the usual next steps are construction permits and state and county sign-offs, then building.
