Fourth of July Celebration~ Fireworks 9pm

Concerns about parking, overdevelopment and taxes and the fading possibility of a wind energy farm being built off the coast dominated a forum Monday night featuring the nine candidates running for City Council in Ocean City’s municipal election May 14. Other major topics in the spotlight were the city’s 8 p.m. beach curfew imposed last year to crack down on unruly groups of teenagers during the summer tourism season and the remote possibility of a high-rise hotel being built on the Boardwalk.
