2 development plans approved for Atlantic City casino area



ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority has granted zoning-related approvals for projects at and near the former Atlantic Club Casino Hotel in Atlantic City.

The Press of Atlantic City (http://bit.ly/1HPi3MC ) reports that the agency approved a proposal Monday to convert the former casino into a family-friendly entertainment complex. It will include an 81,000 square-foot waterpark and roughly 800 hotel rooms.


The Atlantic Club closed in January 2014.

The second project approved was the first undertaking of AC Devco, a recently formed nonprofit aimed at accelerating development in the city. It's funded by the CRDA.

Mayor Don Guardian says the plan calls for "corporate offices and potential academic use" at a 14-acre site on nearby Albany Avenue. But he wouldn't say whether Stockton University wants to open a facility on the site.
