New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill visited Atlantic City on March 3 for a comprehensive meeting at City Hall with Mayor Marty Small Sr., Business Administrator Anthony Swan, City Council President Aaron ‘Sporty’ Randolph and senior city leadership, marking her first in-person meeting with the mayor since taking office in January.
The meeting focused on sustained property tax relief for Atlantic City residents, redevelopment of Bader Field, the state’s PILOT legislation, improvements along Atlantic Avenue, anti-violence and crime reduction initiatives, and expanded programming for youth and seniors. City officials also emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with the State of New Jersey to advance these initiatives.
“As we often say in the Small Administration, ‘relationships matter.’ On behalf of the Great City of Atlantic City, I pledged to be a strong and collaborative partner with Governor Sherrill,” said Mayor Small. “It is encouraging to see the Governor’s confidence in DCA Commissioner Jacquelyn Suarez and her commitment to our shared priorities. Atlantic City is on the edge of greatness, and the Governor now has a deeper understanding of both our opportunities and our challenges. We are grateful for her time, her willingness to listen, and her partnership.”
Governor Sherrill received a warm welcome from Atlantic City employees as she entered City Hall before the hour-long session began.
