Monday, July 21, 2024— Groundbreaking of the new OCPD Downtown Substation! Mayor Rick Meehan, OCDC Board President Joe Wilson, and Chief of Police Ross Buzzero highlighted the significant benefits this facility will bring, enhancing our ability to serve the community with greater accessibility and efficiency.
Located at the southwest corner of S. Baltimore Avenue and Somerset Street, the substation will feature offices, meeting rooms, a public-facing lobby, a bicycle repair garage, staff parking and housing for municipal employees. This prime location ensures that our police services are more accessible to the community, improving safety and support for everyone. The building is expected to be completed in Summer 2025.
A special thank you to OCDC board member Kevin Gibbs for initiating this project, the Town of Ocean City – Government, our OCDC board, City Council, OCPD, Gillis Gilkerson, and Becker Morgan Group, Inc. for their vision, support and dedication to making it possible.
