Atlantic City Develops Incentive Plan to Boost Atlantic Avenue Small Businesses

The City of Atlantic City’s Economic Development Department, operating under Planning & Development, had been actively working on a strategic incentive plan aimed at attracting more businesses to the city—particularly along the Atlantic Avenue corridor.

This initiative focused on revitalizing one of the city’s key commercial arteries, with the goal of creating a more vibrant, accessible, and business-friendly environment. By concentrating efforts on economic stimulation in targeted zones, the city hoped to drive foot traffic, increase employment opportunities, and encourage long-term investments.

While full details of the plan were yet to be publicly released, the announcement marked an important step in Atlantic City's broader revitalization strategy. The city emphasized its commitment to supporting both new and existing entrepreneurs who wish to be part of the community's resurgence.

The city’s leadership expressed gratitude to Ted Greenberg and NBC10 Philadelphia for covering the story and helping to shine a light on Atlantic City's ongoing development efforts.

This feature underscored the growing regional interest in Atlantic City’s transformation and highlighted the city's dedication to forward-thinking solutions in urban planning and economic growth.

The incentive plan was part of a larger movement that complemented other recent initiatives focused on infrastructure, public safety, and small business support throughout the city.

City officials reiterated that this was just the beginning, and they would be releasing further details soon to keep residents, stakeholders, and business owners informed and engaged.

This collaborative, community-driven approach demonstrated how the city was actively laying the groundwork for a more economically diverse and resilient future.
