A new three-story storage building of about 104,742 square feet is proposed at 268 Hurffville-Cross Keys Road in Washington Township, Gloucester County. County records describe it only as a warehouse and storage building.
Local news coverage found online appears to describe the same project. It reports a roughly 105,000 square foot, three-story self-storage facility to operate under the Life Storage brand. The site is reported to front Fries Mill Road, next to an existing produce market, even though its address uses Hurffville-Cross Keys Road. The coverage says the project was approved and that construction has started. Those articles could not be opened in full, so details such as exact dates are unconfirmed.
No township hearing records, opposition, or official developer page were found.
What it could mean nearby
