Join Our Letter Campaign: Support Offshore Wind and Revitalize Our Community

Opportunity Knocks at West Ocean City Harbor! US Wind is poised to transform the West Ocean City Harbor through the acquisition of a property intended for an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) facility, promising a brighter, more sustainable future for our area. This is a chance to advocate for progress and environmental stewardship while directly contributing to the economic revitalization of our community.

Why This Matters:

1. Infrastructure Improvement: The proposed project aims to rejuvenate the aging infrastructure at the harbor, replacing a dilapidated pier and bulkhead with robust new facilities. This not only safeguards our waterfront but enhances it for future generations.

2. Job Creation: With the establishment of the O&M facility, 100 full-time jobs will be introduced, invigorating our local economy and providing much-needed employment opportunities for our residents.

3. Environmental Stewardship: US Wind is committed to minimizing impacts on our cherished natural resources and the livelihoods of commercial fishermen, in partnership with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

The Challenge: Despite the clear benefits, opposition based on unfounded claims threatens to derail this initiative. It's crucial that we, as a community, unite to support this transformative project.

How You Can Help: We're rallying community members to send letters of support for the tidal wetlands permit essential for this project to R. Miles Simmons of the WWPP Tidal Wetlands Division. Your letter will serve as a powerful testament to the collective will of the community, emphasizing the need for this development and the widespread support behind it.

Take Action Now: It's simple but impactful. Send your letter using this link by April 9th.

We're Stronger Together: This is more than just a campaign; it's a movement towards a more sustainable, prosperous future for our community. Your participation is crucial. Let's stand together for progress, for our environment, and for the economic health of our community.

Thank you for your time, your consideration, and your action. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
