ATLANTIC CITY – The 2024 summer season at the shore is rapidly approaching, and as the temperatures warm up will the business forecast for area businesses also get hotter?

The panel will be moderated by Bre Young, a 2020 Stockton graduate and the event coordinator and project manager for Good Time Tricycle Productions. Good Time Tricycle has put together several events in the Atlantic City area, including the Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival.

The other panelists include:

  • Mark Callazzo, managing partner, RMS Capital. Callazzo is the man behind the revitalization of the Orange Loop in Atlantic City and is co-owner of the Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall, Cuzzie’s Pizzeria, Rhythm & Spirits and Bar 32 Chocolate.
