Plans for the connector reemerged in 1995 following a proposal from real estate businessman and Mirage Resorts president Steve Wynn. The city of Atlantic City issued a request for qualifications to developers interested in developing H-Tract, a former landfill site in the Marina district. Wynn obtained the property from the city following his proposal to construct a $1 billion casino resort. He would only build if better road access was provided directly to the site, which prompted state officials to revive the connector plans.
