OCEAN CITY — It certainly wasn’t easy, but resort officials this week signed off on an incentive program to encourage more year-round residents to make Ocean City their home by relaxing some of the fees associated with new construction and potentially short-term relief from property taxes.
For the last year or so, the Mayor and Council along with staff have been working on a two-pronged incentive program to encourage year-round residency. The effort began after city officials repeatedly heard from private citizens the cost of building a new home in Ocean City or substantially improving an existing home was disproportionately higher than other neighboring areas.
To that end, Planning and Community Development Director Bill Neville and his staff have spent the last several months developing potential incentive programs to encourage more people to build homes in Ocean City and make the resort their permanent residence. On Monday, Neville presented the final draft of the resolution creating the incentive program to the Mayor and Council for review and approval.

I guess it might be a good place to live if one never ever goes out at night.
If one enjoys some nightlife, then it is a dangerous place.
