Orange Loop turning around Atlantic City 'dead zone'
“ACP’s focus from the beginning has been building community through partnerships,” said Sanchez. “We’ve always known that the Orange Loop would only work if there were a lot of people involved — residents, developers, nonprofit and for-profit businesses, community members, government officials and beyond. We’re proud that there’s a shared vision we helped craft that so many people have been working to bring to life for so long, and we know we’re just getting started.”

“Our goal at Authentic City Partners from the start has always been to start small, create a scalable model, and grow that,” Sanchez said. “We’re going to really be able to create the model that we had in our mind’s eye of a downtown district, a place with great energy, great food, drink, entertainment, all of those things together. That’s the key — to bring all those elements together in one concentrated place.”
