1,200 spaces. The land is owned by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and it will lease the property to the South Jersey Transportation Authority, which will finance, construct and operate the garage. This multistory garage would feature first-floor retail space and also would be able to support a future hotel tower atop its roof.

Park Place Entertainment, owner of Caesars Hotel Casino, would build the second garage for $60 million, adding an additional 3,000 parking spaces. Bounded by Atlantic, Pacific, Arkansas and Michigan avenues across from the Atlantic City Medical Center, the garage would serve the medical center, The Walk shopping and entertainment complex, three Park Place casinos and Park Place on the Boardwalk, formerly The Shops on Ocean One.

Several new housing developments are continuing the city's priority of building modern homes and creating new neighborhoods.

Station Heights II (above) will feature single family detached homes with 1,486 square feet of living space complete with three bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, and 94 feet of deck space. This project is an extension of the original Station Heights I 16- unit twin-home development.

Chesapeake Bay Gardens (left), located at Delaware and Arctic avenues in the Atlantic Heights District, features 17 single-family and twinstyle homes. This new community is being funded by the federal government's Hope VI affordable housing program.

Oceanside's Portsmouth Place (below) currently is under construction along New Hampshire Avenue between Atlantic and Arctic avenues in the Northeast Inlet. Meanwhile, Oceanside II and Washington Square recently opened their developments to the public (see page 6 for story).

With the addition of hundreds of hotel rooms, a new casino, two schools, shopping and entertainment venues, and attractive neighborhoods, Atlantic City is well on its way towards becoming a model world-class resort destination and community.
