The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A new storage building of about 187,995 square feet is proposed on Block 10, Lot 4 in Woolwich Township, Gloucester County. That is roughly the footprint of three and a half football fields. County records class it as a "moderate-hazard" storage building. That is a fire-safety category for what may be stored inside, and it does not mean the building is dangerous.
County records do not say what is on the site now or who will use the building. A broker listing for a 187,995 sq ft industrial building at 1600 U.S. 322 in Woolwich shows the same size. It describes a building with a high ceiling and truck-oriented features, offered for lease, and it mentions easy access to the NJ Turnpike. The listing does not give a block or lot number, so the match is likely but unconfirmed. No news coverage, meeting records or opposition were found.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic is likely to rise on U.S. 322 and nearby roads, since the listing stresses access to the Turnpike and ports.
- Warehouse jobs could be created, but the number and the occupant are unknown.
- No information was found on effects on schools, open space or utilities.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated July 2024. No approval decision was found online. Projects like this usually need local land-use board approval of the site plan, then state and county permits, before construction.
