"ATLANTIC CITY — The airplane made Bader Field famous, but it could be the automobile that resurrects it.
A $2.7 billion recreational, residential and retail project aimed at car lovers is being proposed for the historic but vacant former site of the first U.S. aviation facility to be called an “airport.”
DEEM Enterprises, a company based in both Los Angeles and Atlantic City, wants to build the project near the oceanfront and the city’s casino-laden skyline.
It would consist of a 2.44-mile auto course on which car lovers could drive their high-end automobiles; about 2,000 units of housing in various price ranges; a retail promenade, and other auto-themed attractions.
“There is literally nothing like this anywhere in the world,” said Michael Binder, one of the company’s principal members. “The latest trend in motor sports is the country club environment, where people bring their exotic cars, they stay there and become part of a motor sports community.” More here - https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/atlantic-citys-bader-field-could-become-a-car-lovers-dream/article_670d499a-9664-11ec-8dbb-0fa724966738.html
