The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County planning records show a proposed new building of about 65,479 square feet at 500 W Hanover Ave in Parsippany-Troy Hills. The county classifies it as an institutional, assembly-type building. That category generally covers places where groups gather, such as training, meeting or worship space. The reported construction cost is about $13.0 million.
The records do not say who would use the building or what it would be used for. The county's latest filing is dated February 26, 2026.
A web search found that the address is listed as the Morris County Fire Fighters Police Academy, a public safety training site. No developer page, news story, meeting agenda or hearing notice was found that clearly describes this proposal. A county public safety complex expansion at West Hanover Avenue was reported separately. Nothing links it to this filing, so it is not treated as the same project.
