Army Corps of Engineers Awards Contract for Ocean City

The Army Corps of Engineers presented more details of its scaled-down plan to protect back-bay areas of the state from storm surges and sea level rise at a public hearing Jan. 22.

The revised plan, with an $8 billion price tag, identifies more than 6,400 properties for elevation across the five-county study area – including more than 1,400 in Cape May County – a fraction of the 16,000 identified in the Corps’ previous, $16 billion plan from 2021.
