after sitting vacant for yearsTrump Plaza, the home of a former Trump casino and hotel in Atlantic City, will be torn down after the building's owner, billionaire Carl Icahn, submitted plans for demolition to local government officials, NJ.com reported Thursday.
The building, which was constructed and owned by Donald Trump before his presidency, has sat vacant since 2014 but the process to tear down the casino and hotel complex is now underway, although it is unclear what the timeline for the demolition will be.
Mayor Marty Small has been adamant about getting rid of the complex and is working with Icahn Enterprises to raze the buildings. Icahn Enterprises estimated the demolition for June 2021 but said Small wouldn't accept that time table.
"That's smack dab in the middle of our season," Small said, according to the NJ.com. "My administration's goal is to get it down by the end of the year, or late February, and time for cleanup for next summer season."

Too bad it won't be before the election.
