After receiving significant public backlash and pressure from state lawmakers, Madison Marquette, the developer of the Asbury Park Casino Building, has stated they will repair the breezeway instead of demolishing it. Concerns arose when a demolition permit request and an “unsafe structure” sticker were posted online. The breezeway has been closed to the public since May 2023, and initial plans involved a renovation of the Casino Building. The developer clarified that the adjacent Carousel building is not affected by these plans and will continue to host events. While the demolition permit’s status remains unclear, the developer’s announcement was met with cautious optimism from the public.
