An expansion of CocoRico Beach Bar in Atlantic City, near Tropicana Casino, is facing opposition from residents and city officials. The bar is located steps away from the Ocean Club Condominiums.
It’s possible a renovations could help improve the area, and be helpful to Atlantic City casinos. However, expanding into resident territory might not be the best move.
City Councilwoman Maria Lacca, has done her due diligence on the new project, speaking to 1,500 residents of the Ocean Club. She has rejected the idea, telling CBS:
“We love the beach bars, we love the expansion of the casinos to have beach bars, but not in a private area.”
