Six Ocean City Council candidates are seeking three at-large seats in the May 10 municipal election, and on Monday night, each of them answered an array of questions.
Everything from whether the candidates want to keep Ocean City a dry town or allow alcohol sales or BYOB for restaurants, to views on an offshore wind farm proposed for 15 miles off the coast passing by Ocean City, to the best location for a new public safety building, took up most of the hour-long forum.
Ocean City officials aren’t the only ones taking issue with a proposed offshore wind energy farm.
In Ocean City, members of the community and elected officials are raising objections to Danish energy company Orsted’s plans for a wind farm 15 miles off the South Jersey coast from Atlantic City to Cape May.
Also, elected officials and representatives of the fishing industry in Long Beach Island are voicing similar concerns over another wind farm proposed by Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind about 10 miles off Barnegat Light.
Ocean City and Long Beach Island, in Ocean County, share in their concerns over what the wind farms could do. Both Orsted and Atlantic Shores have hosted town hall meetings in-person and virtually amid the pandemic, but questions continue to swirl from the public about the “what ifs.”
