OFFICIALS AWAITING FINALIZED PLANS FOR AC MUSIC FESTIVAL
ATLANTIC CITY -- We are now just under three months away from a highly anticipated music festival headlined by The Dave Matthews Band in Atlantic City and city officials are still awaiting finalized plans for the location where tens of thousands will gather.
Bader field has stood unused since it was closed back in 2006, but got a new lease on life when it was recently chosen to be the location of the first of four music festivals being held along the East Coast.
However, city officials tell us the band's promoters have yet to deliver a final layout plan that will determine key aspects of the big show, including where the stage will be placed.
In the mean time, they are still making headway in other stages of the plan.
"In the past three to four weeks we have been able to remove about 90,000 pounds of recyclable materials from the field. the metals, old cars, ther was an existing hangar that was here athat we removed. there was also a trailer that was used for office space that was also removed and many vehicles and many other types of metals that have been dumped there. we've also cleared most of all of the area from the grown up brush and trees from around the fence lne and that have also grown from within the field over the last few years," said Paul Jerkins, Director of Public Works Authority.
Meanwhile, tickets also went on sale to the general public today. Only three day passes are available.
