Army Corps Finds Beach Fared ‘Better Than Expected’

OCEAN CITY – The sea wall on the Boardwalk, along with other storm protection measures, did better in Ocean City than the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ expected.

On Tuesday Baltimore District commander Col. Trey Jordan visited Ocean City to conduct a preliminary assessment of the Atlantic Coast of Maryland Shoreline Protection Project, or beach replenishment, following Hurricane Sandy.

“The Corp of Engineers is interested in public safety and all of our projects like this are designed to protect the public and I am very happy that it designed better than designed,” Jordan said.
