atlantic city revitalization

Sandra Coles Taliaferro and Cynthia McNeal have spent their entire life living in Atlantic City- and in turn living with the casinos.

While Atlantic City continues it's struggle for economic redevelopment, it finds itself trapped in another struggle with homelessness within the community.

One of the focuses of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authorities Master Plan for Atlantic City's Tourism District was to create a "clean and safe" environment for visitors to enjoy.

Atlantic City is known for its opulent casinos, world class entertainment, and high end shopping. However the reality of the city is much different for residents living only blocks outside of the Tourism District-many of who find themselves struggling to find employment.

If you've traveled down to "Do AC", then you might have noticed the changes; Boardwalk ambassadors, more police officers by shops and casinos, and new things to do that don't require you to be 21 and have lady luck by your side.
