Atlantic City developers seek feedback

In an effort to revitalize Atlantic City’s casino region, the state of New Jersey is creating a state-run tourism district and deregulating casinos. Governor Chris Christie signed the Tourism District Act last January and appointed the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to oversee the improvements of the tourist district. The CRDA is developing a master plan with the goal of promoting tourism and making Atlantic City a safer, more attractive place to visit. The agency has set up a website, revitalizeac.com, for residents, tourists, business owners or anyone with an interest in Atlantic City to offer suggestions to make the resort cleaner, safer and more successful. The Tourism District Act requires the CRDA’s master plan be approved by Feb. 1 in order to continue with the redevelopment.
