After conducting more than one hundred interviews with local community and cultural leaders, the C.W. Shaver Company, a Manhattan-based cultural planning firm, presented its preliminary recommendations for an Atlantic City cultural action plan on Wednesday, November 28, 2001.

The Shaver Company was retained over a year ago by a partnership of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Atlantic County and Atlantic City for the purpose of developing a community cultural plan to shape the future built upon the area's rich cultural history. In addition to personal interviews, the assessment included surveying existing facilities and programs, addressing long-term programming and financial issues and identifying major goals.

Interested persons can still participate in this process and are invited to share their responses and recommendations.
