Humane Society To Get $60K For Renovations

OCEAN CITY – The Worcester County Humane Society received a pleasant surprise this week from the Mayor and Council when it granted $60,000 to renovate the building.

According to Public Works Director Hal Adkins, funding was set aside in July of 2006 by the Mayor and City Council at the time. There was $60,000 allocated in an account titled “Humane”, which was supposed to be used as seed money to design and relocate the Worcester County Humane Society.

“I don’t see the building going anywhere anytime soon,” Adkins said. “In the meantime, I happen to be the guy that built it in 1989, and we really haven’t put much time or effort into the upkeep.”
