Atlantic City hit big last year in terms of economic growth, DGE report says

Atlantic City had a strong year in terms of economic growth, according to a Division of Gaming Enforcement’s report for December.

In 2018, Atlantic City saw strong gains in casino, sports betting and internet gaming revenues; high employment numbers; and increased tourism to the area due to the introduction of legalized sports betting, the opening of two new casinos, the South Jersey Gas headquarters, the Stockton University campus, the Boraie Development residential complex and the Tennessee Avenue redevelopment, the DGE said.
