RENOVATIONS

Exterior renovations were underway in April at a former Bank of Ocean City building located at the corner of Dorchester Street and Baltimore Avenue. The city plans to use a $150,000 grant obtained in December for the outside work of the building, which was donated to the city in 2020 for the Life-Saving Station Museum to use.
