“This important funding will improve roadways in Atlantic City, creating a safer environment for their thousands of residents, workers, and tourists who visit the city,” said Sen. Menendez, who urged USDOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg to prioritize the project. “Projects like this are vital to the modernization of our state’s infrastructure, while creating good-paying jobs and keeping our economy moving forward.”
“I am so proud to announce these critical federal resources to Atlantic City for a project that I have long advocated for that will improve the safety and efficiency of a major thoroughfare,” said Sen. Booker, who wrote in support of the project in July. “Federal investment in modern technology like this will not only save lives, but it will put people to work, keep Atlantic City’s economy moving, and improve the quality of life in the region.”
“The safety of our residents is something my Administration takes very seriously,” said Mayor Marty Small, Sr. “The $10.3 million RAISE grant will allow us to make significant safety improvements to our City, especially for our pedestrians and cyclists. We look forward to working with our state and federal partners as we continue to improve and rebuild Atlantic City’s infrastructure to better serve our residents, businesses, and visitors.”
