Bureau of Ocean Energy Management To Hold Offshore Wind Hearing in Ocean City

Worcester

Ocean City, MD

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at 5:00 PM at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center to present plans for the construction of offshore wind turbines as close as 3.5 miles from the Ocean City shoreline. This proposed project would be in addition to the 114 938ft. tall turbines 10.7 miles from our shoreline that were approved by BOEM on September 4.

This new project poses a significant threat to our town. BOEM’s own studies and other independent research have shown that turbines located this close to Ocean City will have devastating effects on our views, local tourism industry, and property values.

If you agree that it is wrong to industrialize our beach by placing hundreds of wind turbines within view of the shoreline, we urge you to voice your opinion. Help Save Our Sunrise, attend this important meeting on September 24, 2024 at 5:00 PM at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center.
