Top issues during term (3)(Budget)
transportation infrastructure funding
Ocean City likely won’t see new state dollars for drawbridge repairs or replacement this round, leaving the city and possibly other partners to cover future costs or defer work.
beach renourishment funding
The Army Corps is putting up $25.7 million to replace lost sand and shore up the beach economy.
community partnership funding
The city is directly spending $250,000 in taxpayer money on a nonprofit expansion rather than a general city program.
