OCEAN CITY -- Worcester County, Ocean City and the entire lower shore did well this week when the latest round of state Community Legacy program awards were announced with $150,000 dedicated to the resort alone.
The state Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) on Wednesday announced an award of over $5.5 million in Community Legacy grants to jurisdictions and municipalities all over Maryland for various projects and programs. Worcester County alone was awarded a combined $270,000 for various projects including $150,000 in grants for the Ocean City Development Corporation (OCDC).
“The OCDC is very pleased with the latest round of grants from Community Legacy,” said Executive Director Glenn Irwin on Wednesday. “Community Legacy is such a major part of our revitalization efforts in Ocean City and the award of these grants kind of validates what we’re doing here.”

This money should be going to Crisfield.
The awarding of these grants bears no relationship to actual need but is based on the writing skills of the applicants. It's been that way ever since the CDBG program way back in 1970 or so.
