A Beautiful Atlantic City Starts With Safe, Strong Neighborhoods

A beautiful city is about the pride residents feel in their neighborhoods, the condition of the public spaces they use every day and the confidence that their community is being cared for.

In Atlantic City, investing in public safety and improving the appearance of our neighborhoods go hand in hand. The restoration of historic Fire Station 2 at Indiana and Baltic avenues is a perfect example.

The more than 100-year-old Northside landmark received a $4.6 million exterior restoration, along with important interior upgrades that bring the facility up to modern standards. The investment preserves an important piece of Atlantic City's history while supporting a fire station that continues to serve as the Fire Department's official training facility.

The project also brought new life to the neighborhood through The Door That Opened, a mural by artist Chanelle René in partnership with the Atlantic City Arts Foundation. The artwork honors generations of local firefighters while adding color, character and a sense of pride to the surrounding community.

That is what meaningful investment looks like: protecting the people who protect us, preserving our history and making our neighborhoods more attractive places to live.

Public safety, neighborhood appearance and community pride are connected. Well-maintained facilities support our first responders. Public art and historic preservation celebrate the character of our neighborhoods. Continued investment shows residents that their community matters.
