ATLANTIC CITY, NJ—Gov. Chris Christie will hold a closed-door summit here of approximately 30 politicians, casino executives, and labor leaders today to discuss the crisis facing Atlantic City with three casino closures this year and another set to shut down later this month.

The summit, not open to the public or the press, will be held at an Atlantic City office building, according to the Star-Ledger. “There's not going to be any solutions coming out of this meeting,” says State Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester). “There's going to be conversations.”

Among the topics expected to be discussed include how to turn around Atlantic City's economy that will be losing 8,000 jobs due to the casino closures. Another hot button item will be the possible expansion of casino gaming outside of Atlantic City into Northern New Jersey.

“At the end of the day, if we expand gaming outside of Atlantic City, it's making sure we do it to maximize the revenue we get from it and strengthen our programs for seniors and the disabled,” Sweeney says. He adds that funds generated from any North Jersey casino would have to be devoted to rebuilding Atlantic City. See story in the Star-Ledger.
