Coverage here runs across Atlantic City city hall and the Atlantic County government, the Atlantic City School District and the casino and hospitality employers that form the spine of the local economy. From Chelsea Heights and Ducktown to Westside, Inlet and Bungalow Park, neighborhood reporting extends through the city and into Cape May County, Cumberland County, Camden County and Ocean County where a story crosses the line. Atlantic City's casino industry has contracted significantly from its peak, and the resulting shifts in tax revenue, employment and property values have become the most persistent structural subjects in local government and economic coverage. State oversight of Atlantic City's finances and the long-running question of how the city diversifies beyond gambling are the conditions that have shaped local policy debates for years.
