As Planning and Zoning Director, Neville will oversee the planning and zoning department. The planning division, along with the planning commission, is responsible for preparing and maintaining the town’s Comprehensive Plan, to which Neville brings local expertise and the ability to integrate design and regulatory solutions with comprehensive plan policies. In addition, Neville brings decades of experience in land use planning and design, implementation of land development codes and ordinances, as well as community participation in the planning process.
“I am very pleased to welcome Bill to the Planning and Zoning Director position,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “A person of Bill’s caliber, including his knowledge, experience and leadership, will be a great asset to our community and the future of Ocean City.”
Neville’s professional experience includes work in the public and private sectors. Before joining the Town of Chincoteague in 2010, Neville was the Director of Land Planning Services for Daft McCune Walker/DMW and Senior Land Entitlement Manager for Centex Homes. With bachelor’s degrees in Environmental Studies and Landscape Architecture from Syracuse University, Neville’s career dates back to 1984 where he began developing his expertise in land planning, land development and a balanced background of residential and mixed use community planning in rapidly growing jurisdictions and small towns.
“My family and I have enjoyed living in and around Ocean City for the last ten years and we are pleased to feel like a part of the community,” Neville commented. “I look forward to working closely with the Mayor and City Council, the staff, the various boards and commissions, and of course the residents and property owners, to coordinate Ocean City’s Strategic and Comprehensive Plan for a bright future in our first class resort town.”

Will he support restricting the rental of homes to please OC's rich and famous?
It doesn't matter what he supports or thinks. He is supposed to do what the Mayor and Council tell him to do regardless of his opinion.
5:00 Bill is notorious for being a yes man, and will not lead on his own. The Town needs to hire a strong supervisor to clean house in the builders inspectors office. The current director is a complete joke!
