Simply Storage Barnegat, LLC has applied for a site plan for a warehouse-style building of about 35,500 square feet on roughly 5.5 acres on South Main Street in Barnegat Township. Township planning board papers describe a self-storage expansion at 220 South Main Street, filed under the name Public Storage Expansion. It appears to be this project, because the applicant and street match.
The township's completeness review asked the applicant to explain the site's history and operations and noted a waiver request. A November 2025 planning board agenda listed approval of a preliminary and final site plan for the project. That agenda does not show whether the board voted or what the result was. No news coverage, opposition or confirmed occupant was found beyond the storage use named in the township papers.
What it could mean nearby
- Self-storage buildings usually generate fewer daily car trips than offices or retail, but access onto South Main Street (Route 9) would still be reviewed.
- Records give no sign of new homes, and the jobs created would likely be few.
- The records do not say how much of the site is now wooded or open, so the effect on open space is unknown.
Where it stands
The project reached the Barnegat Township Planning Board, which had it on a November 2025 agenda. The board's decision was not confirmed, and a county filing dated March 2026 suggests county-level review. After board approval, the usual steps are county and state permits, then construction.
