Officials in Atlantic County believe a lightning strike during a storm earlier this month knocked out the air conditioning chiller at the county office building in Atlantic City.

The air conditioning should be working again by the end of the week.

County leaders just voted on a $2 million contract to replace the unit this fall.

Residents who had appointments to pick up their EBT cards at the County Office Building may call (609) 345-6700, ext. 2353 to coordinate.
