“Two years ago the State of New Jersey designated Stockton as an Anchor Institution, recognizing the university’s unique impact on Atlantic City and the surrounding region, as well as its potential to contribute to help and stabilize the local economy,” said Debra P. DiLorenzo, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey.
“What followed was an extensive and collaborative planning process involving multiple partners,” she said. “With a best foot forward effort by ACDevco, South Jersey Industries, county and state governments, CRDA, unions and contractors, this magnificent project has stimulated area housing markets, new business investments and the creation or expansion of several cultural organizations."
