With the departure of Mark Juliano as an executive of Trump Entertainment Resorts, it seems that job offers for him have not ceased. A number of opportunities are taking shape in Atlantic City, a city he won’t have to leave should he seize them. There’s even a burgeoning movement headed by two lawmakers of the state to name him as the head of the Atlantic City tourism district as proposed by the governor of the state himself. Trump corporate proprietors made the announcement a week ago that Juliano would be replaced as the company’s chief executive officer. With this move, Juliano also will sooner or later be replaced as the chairman of the Casino Association of New Jersey as well. The modifications would mean that the administration of Gov. Chris Christie’s is in danger of missing their main Atlantic City contact person who has organized a great deal of the discussions regarding a new stage of the state’s engagement in the resort.

Two members of the legislature are eyeing Juliano as a prospect to lead the projected Atlantic City tourism district, a new group that would be playing a central function to the governor’s vision to change the current lackluster state of Atlantic City. Assemblyman John Amodeo, (R-Atlantic), one of the movers and shakers of the governor’s pet project opined “Mark was a linchpin in those discussions. I’ve been floating this to everybody. If you think about the expertise we’re looking for, I think he’d be an excellent fit.” Amodeo supposed he envisions a chance to hold on to Juliano being involved with the project in an active manner by committing his name to direct the new partnership between the gambling industry and public concerns, which the advisers of Governor Christie advocated ought to be directed by a CEO.

Juliano is currently 55 years old. He is originally from Haddonfield, Camden County, and with the finalization of him leaving Trump, would be the first name to be proposed by a state lawmaker to head the proposed zone. He assumed the role as president of the Casino Association in June, only one month ahead of the revelation of the governor of his recommendations that would include direct state involvement in the operation of gaming resort in Atlantic City, while slewing subsidies from the state and the casino industry to thehorse racing industry. He came out as a major voice for the casinos in endorsement of the governor’s project. Christie called for Juliano to attend early stakeholder conferences following the publishing of the recommendations and as the governor started to discuss how to realize his plans. He also remains to serve as vice chairman of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority or ACCVA board of directors.

Another lawmaker who is interested in having Juliano assume the position in Governor Christie’s groups is state Sen. Jeff Van Drew, (D-Cape May, Cumberland, Atlantic). He expressed his agreement by saying, “He could certainly have a key role in the new district. I’d be all for it, having known Mark and seen him as someone who knows how to bring the different casino properties together. He knows how to think outside the box.” As of the moment, Juliano has not really confirmed his interest in the position, and does not know if he would be staying in Atlantic City or move to another place. He said, “Obviously, for the next 30 to 60 days, I’m involved in this transition. And beyond that, I’m going to be looking at all the options available, and eventually I’ll make a decision. If there are opportunities made available in Atlantic City, I’d be very considerate of them.” He added that as of the moment, no one has formally or officially approach him to offer him any role connected to the governor’s plan. He said,

The final outcome of the new district planned by the governor will ultimately affect what will happen to the ACCVA, which the governor’s advisers hope to get into their new tourism district organization. Regarding the ACCVA, Juliano comments, “I will still be involved in discussions related to ACCVA. But as of now, that’s the only formal way I would stay active or have a say.”
