As one set of wind turbines receives approval in Ocean City, federal officials are considering another set even closer to shore. The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management hosted its first meeting Tuesday night to hear from town residents about the potential development. Federal officials said the new development is just at the beginning of what could be a multiyear process to find additional portions of the seabed near Ocean City suitable for wind turbines. Hundreds of people attended the public hearing to voice concerns about a proposal to construct 114 wind turbines that could be installed closer to Ocean City's sandy beaches.
