First Reading Approved On Measure To Rename AC City Hall After Coursey

Atlantic City City Council has unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance to rename City Hall after late Atlantic County Commissioner Ernest Coursey. The Press of Atlantic City reports Coursey, 62, who was also Mayor Marty Small Sr.’s chief of staff, died Aug. 5 after battling colon cancer. Coursey’s brother Ed said his brother broke down crying when he was informed of the plan to rename the building. Fourth Ward Councilman George Crouch said it wasn’t hard for council to come together and honor Coursey.
