Despite the slowing economy, which prompted several gaming companies to put the brakes on expansion in Atlantic City, a city councilman there says development of the city’s most coveted tract of land is “way behind schedule.” Councilman Dennis Mason and other city officials have laid out a timetable for the development of Bader Field, the 140-acre former airport valued at approximately USD 1 billion.
