ATLANTIC CITY - The list of casinos closing or soon to close here just grew by one. Trump Plaza will close its doors for good in mid-September, according to state officials who were briefed Friday by lawyers representing the casino.

"I believe Sept. 16 is the targeted closure date that we were told," said Assemblyman Vince Mazzeo (D., Atlantic). Mazzeo said both he and State Sen. Jim Whelan (D., Atlantic) received a phone call late Friday afternoon from a Trump Plaza lawyer.

Mazzeo said he was told by the attorney that Trump Plaza management plans to make a formal announcement and issue 60-day layoff notices to about 1,600 employees on Monday.

"This is another blow to the casino industry here," Mazzeo said in a phone interview. "With mid-September the timing of the closing, it will have a devastating impact on the local economy."
