Mayor: Ocean City to use eminent domain to secure dune easements
“Ocean City will use eminent domain to secure the easements necessary to begin planning dune and beach replenishment projects, Mayor Jay Gillian said in an open letter to residents.
Gillian said, in a letter posted to the municipal website Friday, that he’s authorized the city’s attorney to begin condemnation proceedings. While a number of homeowners have voluntarily provided the easements, he said some have not.”
