Re: Atlantic City next major development project

"Straub says he will build the never-completed second Revel tower. "The seven floors are already in. We're just running 40 more floors," he told The Press of Atlantic City. Straub says he needs another $300 million to build that tower.
The plans extend past the North end of the boardwalk.

Straub intends to submit a proposal for Bader Field, the former Atlantic City airfield that was the first in the country to be called an "airport." He wants to re-open it as an airport that will cater to regional travel, perhaps flying in high-rollers. Previous concept proposals, such as those unveiled last month, do not call for an airport at the site.

But, wait, there's more. Per a release from Stockton, Straub's $500 million plans include an "extreme sports complex … two marinas with capacity to host super yachts, a world-class multipurpose equestrian complex, indoor and outdoor waterparks, two universities, a pier project with laser light shows, as well as high-speed ferries and helicopter service connecting Manhattan and Atlantic City."
"As the name of the project signals," Straub said in a statement, "the Phoenix rises out of the ashes to be reborn and will evolve to include diversified collection of projects including eight parts designed to show that the American dream is still alive and well."
