Sustainable Ocean City

Ocean City, MD – : The Town of Ocean City is working on a State of Maryland program to be certified “Sustainable.” As a requirement of this program, the town is including the community and has developed a survey that will help determine the town’s future efforts.

“The term “sustainable communities” has various definitions, but in essence refers to communities planned, built, or modified to promote sustainable living,” said Ocean City Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer. “Sustainable communities tend to focus on environmental and economic sustainability, urban infrastructure, social equity, and municipal government. We want to include the community in the process and have created a short survey. Not only to inform them of the programs we already do but to guide us on potential future endeavors.”

The short survey will assist the town with the focus and direction of the sustainable Ocean City action plan. Residents are asked to take a moment and follow the following link to give your opinion as to what a Sustainable Ocean City program should look like: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/J8J8DWY

If you would like a paper copy of the survey please contact Gail Blazer, at (410) 289-8845 or gblazer@oceancitymd.gov.
