OCEAN CITY – Ocean City Council voted unanimously to introduce a $9 million bond ordinance June 27, funding several upcoming projects.
According to the ordinance, it includes $4.2 million in roadwork on streets and alleys throughout Ocean City; $1.8 million for stormwater drainage improvements; and $3 million for lagoon and back bay dredging to clear waterways for boating.
Spending on dredging will include clearing material out of a dredge spoils site near the 34th Street Bridge this fall.
Frank Donato, city finance officer, said the bond will continue work for 2019, the third such ordinance to be introduced this year. He said the projects were included in the city’s capital plan, which calls for spending $25 million in roads and drainage through 2023, including a total of $6 million this year.
A public hearing and final vote are planned July 11. That meeting is set to start at 7 p.m. on the third floor of City Hall, 861 Asbury Ave.
