Atlantic City coordinated site plan approval, expedited utility permits and guaranteed construction loan program could result in a construction start within one week. Claremore Oklahoma has a unique Pattern Zones Platform that features over 20 pre-approved architectural designs. If you build using these free designs, permits are frequently issued in under 30 minutes. The same day building permit would make home ownership accessible to a significant number of families. claremore.patternzones.com

Stockton Atlantic City Campus was a brilliant real estate deal to create a need for vacant property that had lost any reasonable expectation of development. The burden of a large vacant assemblage had fallen on Wall Street bankers when a casino development deal fell thru. The best minds of the Christie administration created a need for the site - a Stockton Campus, put together an extremely impressive $200 million funding package and assembled a stellar dedevelopment team. Wall Street’s little vacant land problem was solved. But no one bothered to notice that the site was void of academic purpose. Faculty had little interest in teaching there. Students had even less interest in taking classes there. Stockton’s new President to his credit has recognized the problem. But his initial solution to relocate the School of Health Sciences is small thinking. STOCKTON needs to think big or go home.

In the mid 1980’s Donald Trump owned three Atlantic City bankrupt casinos. In the mid 1980’s southern Lebanon had become a multiplemassive launch site targeting Israel civilians. Thirty years later Trump is President. Thirty five years later Lebanon is still a multiple massive launch site targeting Israel civilians. Israel has played these past decades a middle eastern version of “whack a mole” using asymmetric military assault in response to southern Lebanon missal attacks. There’s absolutely no reason to believe in 35 years Trump has Mastered The Art of the Deal. Trump’s Atlantic City casino deals were an economic disaster. There is absolutely no reason to believe Trumps Iran deal will end up better.

Caesars Casinos expanding with the addition of a fourth casino - Golden Nugget- added to the current three casinos- Caesars, Harrahs, Trop- will not trigger an unfair competitive economic advantage. The Caesars Casinos with the addition of Golden Nugget will have less then than o Borgata market share. The Casino Control Commission has in past actions looked at four casinos as a potential unfair competitive economic trigger. There is however no bright line . The 4 casino issues does give the.

Tilman Fertitta purchasing Caesars immediately transforms the casino power structure. Fertitta purchasing Caesars gives him four of nine seats on the Casino Association… the guys in the back room that for better or worse shape casino industry public policy. It is the Casino Association that came up with the PILOT and fills casinos with smoke. When Fertitta owns four casinos he gets four votes,

Tilman Fertitta purchase of Caesars may for the first time in almost fifty years an operator to the Boardwalk that knows what to do with one. Tilman owns the highly successful Kemah Boardwalk in Galveston. It’s well within Fertitta’s skill set to negotiate the demotion oh Caesars Pier and its replacement with 300 foot boardwalk development from West Boardwlk Hall to Caesars frontage.

Atlantic City AI Overview Google AI Understands Atlantic City challenge. Google’s AI gets it. AC business and political leaders doesn’t . It’s not hard to come up with solutions if you drill down on the real problem. “ Atlantic City continues to face severe economic challenges, including a prolonged decline in casino operating profits, heavy municipal debt, and ongoing state oversight. While the resort has stabilized its fiscal position somewhat and seen recent growth in tourism investments, the local community still suffers from high poverty and a lack of economic diversification. Key Economic & Financial Challenges •Shrinking Casino Profits: Despite steady annual revenues, operators have recorded three consecutive years of year-over-year declines in Gross Operating Profit (GOP) due to increased operational costs and intensifying regional competition. •Municipal Debt: The city carries a heavy long-term debt burden, with municipal bond debt sitting at over $400 million, forcing strict state oversight over local spending and taxation. •State Takeover Extension: Due to ongoing structural financial difficulties, New Jersey extended state oversight (originally implemented in 2016) for another six years to oversee redevelopment and ensure fiscal discipline. •High Poverty and Low Income: The city suffers from structural socioeconomic issues, featuring high unemployment rates, a median household income well below national averages, and a poverty rate that impacts more than a third of the population. •Over-Reliance on Gaming: Despite efforts to cultivate other attractions and small businesses, Atlantic City remains a largely one-industry town, leaving it highly vulnerable to the broader impacts of online gambling and shifting tourism habits.

“I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy: 'Dear Jack, Don't buy a landslide vote. I won't pay for a landslide.”-John F Kennedy Context: JFK often joking ly cited this to claim his father, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., would only fund enough votes to win, not a landslide victory. Someone in the Governor Office must know the Kennedy quote. When. Marty Small was in election mode the Governor approved budget cuts. From 2020 to 2026, Atlantic City has topped the state in tax decreases, with a 13.7 percent drop.. Now that the election is over…the State mandated a 2% increase.

@evansanchez @jahshrastafari Include the Trump Plaza site.

Tilman Fertitta owns the Golden Nugget Casino. He is in the process of buying Caesars. He is Ambassador to Italy. He’s a busy guy Last week he asked for an extend on his Caesar’s bid time.

@evansanchez The real question is if the state can get their act together… the CCC needs to deal with the four casino issues . They can leverage a major PIER redesign.
