A public meeting will be held in a little over a week in Atlantic, to discuss the future of the City-owned truck parking lot off of Commerce Street. Mayor Dave Jones said during Wednesday evening’s City Council meeting, that the Community Protection and Community Development Committees have been discussing the status of the lot, and the fact local individuals have been operating lots as a private enterprise since the City closed it’s lot and cleaned it up.

Jones said a couple of truckers have called wondering what’s going on with the lot. He said in his opinion, “The City should not be undercutting private enterprise.” . He is inviting truck drivers and the public to the meeting, which will be held 5:30-p.m Jan. 21st, in the Council’s Chambers at the Atlantic City Hall.
