OFFSHORE WIND HEARING ANNOUNCEMENT
Ocean City, MD – (September 10, 2024): The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) will hold a series of in-person and virtual public meetings 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.
In-Person Meeting:
- Date: September 24, 2024
- Time: 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- Location: Roland E. Powell Convention Center – Dockside Hall – 4001 Coastal Hwy, Ocean City, MD 21842

Virtual Meeting:
- Date: October 2, 2024
- Time: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

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 one of these important meetings.
