County records show a proposal for a new educational building of about 31,467 square feet at 300 Main Ave in Clifton City. The most recent county filing was on December 18, 2025.
The records do not say which school or institution would use the building, who is building it, or what is on the site now. Searches of public sources found no news coverage, meeting agendas, hearing notices or developer pages that clearly refer to this address. Details such as enrollment, number of floors, parking and hours of use are therefore unknown.
An online property listing places a small site with a school-cafeteria-type use at this address. That listing is not confirmed to relate to this proposal, so it is not relied on here.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic, drop-off and parking effects are likely for a school of this size, but no traffic study or site plan was found.
- The size suggests a small to mid-sized school, but the records give no figures on student capacity or jobs.
Where it stands
A filing was made with the county on 2025-12-18. No local approval, hearing or decision was found online. Next steps usually include review by the city's land use board, which can be the planning board or zoning board, and county review where Main Ave is a county road.

We searched the web for this project but found nothing beyond the county record, so this explanation is based on the filing alone. Researched by AI from public sources on Nov 1, 2026. It can make mistakes, so check the linked sources and the municipality before relying on it.
