CDRA chief eyes Bader Field for casino8 June 2007ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey -- As reported by the Press of Atlantic City: "Atlantic City casinos may be opposed to competition at Bader Field, but the director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority told a Senate Committee on Thursday that the property is too valuable to be ruled out as a gaming hall. "'At some point in the game, we don't know when, we surely envision additional casino operations at this site,' CRDA Executive Director Tom Carver told the Senate Tourism and Gaming Committee. "Carver called the Bader Field site "150 acres in the middle of everything,' making it perhaps the most valuable piece of real estate in the state. He said the CRDA is conducting studies on the behalf of Atlantic City to come up with a development plan that looks at how Bader Field can be used to guarantee the best continuing return investment to the city. "The idea of adding a casino at Bader Field has drawn opposition from other casino executives as well as some members of Atlantic City Council..." copyrighted material written for and appeared exclusively in The Press of Atlantic City |
