Summary
A new convention center proposal in the Meadowlands could seriously hurt Atlantic City, which relies on tourism for nearly 30% of its jobs—far more than Bergen County’s 3.4%. While supporters cite Atlantic City’s existing strengths like cost, flexibility, and walkability, the plan ignores the real economic risk: diverting tourism and investment away from a city already vulnerable after gambling expansion in neighboring states. Instead of building a competitor, lawmakers should invest in upgrading Atlantic City’s proven, world-class convention infrastructure and resort amenities.
