5:12-178. Projects or investments benefiting, improving, or increasing value of casino hotel or related facility; authority investment; prohibition
The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall not invest in, issue a guarantee in support of, or approve any investment or project which directly and exclusively benefits, improves, or increases the assessed value of a casino hotel or related facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an investment in or guarantee of infrastructure requirements, such as public roads, streets, intersections and sewer and water facilities, which are dedicated to the public use and benefit society as a whole exceeds the demand for such requirements created by an approved casino hotel or related facility and thus does not finance infrastructure improvements required to be made by a casino licensee pursuant to subsection e. of section 84 of P.L.1977, c. 110 (C. 5:12-84), the excess investment or guarantee may be considered an eligible investment or project if the authority finds that the investment or guarantee serves the most pressing social and economic needs of the residents of the city of Atlantic City and otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 25 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act.
