MIDDLESEX TWP — The township planning commission has given the green light to plans for Holy Sepulcher School on Old Route 8 to build an addition to its school building during a meeting Wednesday, Feb. 25.

Representatives from the school told the five-member planning commission the expansion will mainly house additional classrooms. Adjustments to the school’s parking and landscaping will also be made to account for the new addition.

According to township engineer Jeff Mikelsic of Herbert Rowland & Grubic, the addition is “somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000 square feet.”

He added the school is hoping to get started on constructing the new addition after the conclusion of the current school year and finish before the start of the next one.

The plan will now go to the board of supervisors for possible approval.
