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.
