Ocean City’s New Sports Complex Approved | Dover News

Ocean City is moving ahead with a bold new sports complex plan, securing nearly 200 acres of land for $8.7 million to lure tourists and create year-round jobs—without raising local property taxes. Located just 20 minutes from downtown and north of Route 50, the facility will be funded by room taxes and Maryland Stadium Authority contributions. Local businesses support the project, citing the need to compete with neighboring towns, after surveying over 130 sites. While community pushback surfaced at a Berlin-area meeting, officials remain committed to building a year-round hub for tournaments and recreation that could transform the local economy.
