They are allowed to replace the area slated for demolition with a "similar" building. So the renovation could be anything. I really believe that the Casino, properly restored and marketed, could be the centerpiece of Asbury's return to a tourist destination. It is unique. When it was built it was an engineering marvel. It has withstood oceanfront weather fairly well. It is a combination of modern, and earlier styles - a jumping off place that I believe architecture will soon revisit. And, I believe restored it is literally a world class architectural work of genius. Personally, I believe it is Asbury's greatest treasure.

Well perhaps I change my position on the donation issue, maybe. This
is even more reason to tar and feather those responsible. IDIOTS.
In any event, the raising of private funds has to be a parallel
route. You can't offer that right away. You have to use the other
means I suggested. The city, if it wanted to, could turn up the heat
very high on APartners. Private citizens should also consider a
lawsuit as well. All that makes negotiations to afford public rights
and assitance in restoration more palatable. There is still the
issue of the easement through the Casino. Isn't there a legal
obligation to open it? We can sue for that. That requires
renovation, which in turn must be done to state standards.
