(Atlantic City).- Two of [Atlantic City’s] casinos have plans for beachfront redevelopment. Bally’s Atlantic City and Ocean Casino Resort are looking to build seasonal beach bars and permanent entertainment venues between the dunes and the Boardwalk in front of their properties.
During a City Council meeting June 16, two resolutions were approved allowing for each casino to begin negotiating redevelopment agreements. According to the resolutions, Bally’s beach bar and entertainment venue would be developed between Arkansas and Indiana avenues. Ocean’s project would be developed between Rhode Island and New Jersey avenues.
“I would definitely encourage this very strongly,” Councilman Kaleem Shabazz said during the June 16 meeting.
Even though there are some negative aspects to the casinos, these entities have put a lot of money into the city; they are employing a lot of people. They want to continue their development, so I think we need to support these two (resolutions).”
On July 21, council also approved a resolution for the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to recognize a redevelopment plan at Ocean Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue.
Shabazz said last week this is also part of Ocean’s redevelopment plan.
Both projects were set to be discussed by the city’s Planning Board on Tuesday, but the discussion was delayed pending state approval of beach leases and Coastal Area Facility Review Act permits.
Officials from Bally’s and Ocean said there were no details about the projects that they could share publicly yet.
