Atlantic City expanding with new casinos

To survive emerging competition from Pennsylvania and New York slots parlors, the Atlantic City is poised to expand casino gambling into areas that were never imagined when gambling was approved here in the 1970s.



The City Council this week approved changes to its grand plan that will rezone parts of Route 30 to allow construction of a casino on the site of a former oil depot.

Located a mile from the Boardwalk and closer than that to the three new marina district casinos, the proposed gambling hall will be built by Penn National Gaming in an area currently known best for traffic jams and sewage smells, typical New Jersey fare.

The landmark vote came after about 24 residents of the nearby Venice Park neighborhood asked the council to reject the plan, or at least defer it until Penn National officials could meet further with homeowners.

"The major problem will be traffic. Sometimes in the morning and evening, it's extremely hard to get into and out of Venice Park. And that's without this casino," said Mike Johnson, vice president of the Venice Park Civic Association.

Matthew Glass, another neighborhood resident, aired another commonly heard refrain: that there are plenty of other vacant sites within existing casino zones where a new project could be built.

"With all the current development in Atlantic City, I can't fathom why you would want to put it so close to a residential neighborhood," Glass said.
