A $10.3 million grant to repave Atlantic Avenue and make other improvements has been released, Mayor Marty Small Sr. said Wednesday. The Press of Atlantic City reports Small got the good news Tuesday from U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, via a phone call, he said. In a statement read by Small, Van Drew called the project “a huge step forward for Atlantic City and all of South Jersey.” The work is slated to start in May.
