County records show a new factory and industrial building of about 22,500 sq ft proposed at 331 Route 202 in Montville Township, with a reported construction cost of $1.85 million.
Online sources suggest this is Building A of a three-building flex industrial park of roughly 110,000 sq ft near the Interstate 287 exit ramp. A 2024 business report says the site was bought from a utility company and that the township and county had approved the park. Planned uses include office, warehouse and manufacturing space. Smaller units for local trades were also mentioned.
A broker listing shows the buildings (22,500, 55,900 and 30,711 sq ft) for sale as a build-to-spec project, meaning they are built before a tenant is chosen. No named occupant, opposition or hearing coverage was found. The listing does not confirm that Building A is a factory.
What it could mean nearby
- The site is just off Route 287 and Route 202, so truck and worker traffic would use those major roads, though no traffic study was found.
- The mix of warehouse, office and manufacturing space could bring local business and job activity, but no job counts were found.
- No homes are proposed, so no direct school impact is expected.
Where it stands
A 2024 report says the overall park was already approved, and the latest county filing is dated March 2025. Next steps usually include building permits, construction and then sale or lease to a business; the township may still need to review any changes.
