Two bits of big news announced yesterday relating to the future development of Atlantic City.
First, in the immediate future, it has been decided that Steel Pier, which was slated to close for good at the end of last year's summer season, will remain open for another year.
"We will be able to offer good, clean family entertainment again in 2008," said Trump Entertainment Resorts CEO Mark Juliano. Trump owns the historic Steel Pier, which opened in 1898.
Elsewhere in the resort town, Revel Entertainment Group has released plans for their new casino endeavor, which is proposed to be the tallest casino in town.
The project should be ready by 2011, and is to be built on 20 acres just north of the Showboat Casino-Hotel.
