The restructuring should be completed by early summer, it added.
Governor Christie's office expressed optimism for Revel's chances, while the Local 54 casino workers' union,

Ocean Grove, a South Jersey community whose boardwalk was ripped to shreds by Hurricane Sandy, was denied relief aid by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Total damage is estimated around $3.5 million. [NJ Spotlight]
