• Ocean City Subcommittee Makes Recommendations For Boardwalk Development (patch.com) — Ocean City residents are getting a clearer picture of what might replace the former Wonderland site, as a boardwalk subcommittee urges City Council to consider conditional mixed-use zoning for 600 Boardwalk. The report frames the parcel as a rare, once-in-a-generation redevelopment opportunity that could bring a high-quality resort, public dining, and entertainment while preserving the boardwalk’s character and boosting year-round economic activity.
