Imagine earning basically what amounts to another paycheck every week? One lucky lottery player in Ocean County is going to be living that life thanks to the latest winning numbers.
It's actually happening. Atlantic City, which has been dubbed a 'food desert' over its lack of grocery stores and access to healthy foods, will be breaking ground on construction of a new ShopRite next month.
Atlantic City's time as a so-called "food desert' came a little closer to being over on Tuesday when the CRDA unanimously approved more than $18.7 million in funding for a new ShopRite supermarket in the city.
The company behind a planned ShopRite grocery store in Atlantic City will only have to pay $1 a year to operate. You read that right ONE dollar. So, how did they get such a deal?
It's hard to believe that Atlantic City has been without a big chain grocery store for more than 15 years. Residents have to head to Ventnor or Brigantine if they want to shop at a full-fledged supermarket.
That could change in the very near future as the Press of Atlantic City reports that plans to finalize a deal for the new supermarket are up for a vote which will take place on September 2nd.
