OCEAN CITY — The ongoing redevelopment renaissance in the resort is straining resources to the point an adjustment in building fees and permits could be in the offing, resort officials learned this week.
During a budget work session on Monday, Planning and Community Development Director Bill Neville told the Mayor and Council a robust development climate in the resort, fueled largely by a new hotel boom, was achieving the desired results in terms of expanding the tax base, but was coming at the cost of increased expenses in processing building permit applications and other services provided by his department.
Neville said his department’s revenue projections for the current year were down slightly, while expenditures related to issuing building permits and completing the requisite inspections had gone up. He said the difference between revenue and expenditures was around $552,000.
