The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) was developed in the early 1980s to help redevelop Atlantic City and other parts of the state of New Jersey. The CRDA is funded by a 1.25 percent tax on casino revenues in the state. Matt Doherty is a former mayor of Belmar, New Jersey and was appoint4ed to lead the agency 18 months ago. He explains how he is doing his job during a time when the state has taken over the Atlantic City government and directs its spending and other operations. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at the CRDA offices in Atlantic City in August.
