Atlantic County Republican Chairman Don Purdy is calling for a public-private partnership to preserve the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel, rejecting a proposal to convert a portion of the property into senior apartments as a critical state funding deadline approaches. Speaking with Scott Cronick on Off The Press on News Talk 1400 & 92.3 WOND, Purdy said the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority should be considered as a potential partner in finding a solution to the hotel's financial problems.
