45 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 9 $3M grant from the State to build New Jersey’s only offshore wind training center. That’s going to be located at their campus in Atlantic City.” The center will be where basic training and mandatory certification for new wind employees will take place. As an offshoot of the city’s ever- evolving quality of life project, council is also accepting proposals to develop a workforce development program specific to the wind industry. “We’d love to reach into the elementary schools and high schools and get people prepared for a career in offshore wind,” Rutala says. “Because the industry is going to bring thousands of jobs to the Atlantic City area, and it doesn’t require a college degree. It requires some skills and training, and the training is available. So, it’s a real opportunity for many of our residents.” “Between climate-related issues, the diversification of employment and economic bases, the housing issues and social issues, everything has a cumulative effect on what we’re calling shared prosperity,” says Interim Director Planning & Development, Jacques Howard. “What’s taking place now will have positive repercussions into the future. This is a comprehensive strategy that is sustainable, building upon the city’s most valuable asset, human capital. We want new construction and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure to preserve our neighborhoods, creating walkable, vibrant communities. I think that’s really the goal here.” “Please be patient with us,” Small says, in the name of the city. “Because God isn’t through with us yet.” www.TRIADINCORPORATED.com New Jersey 1301 W.
