Ocean City Mayor Jay Gillian says the city has received suggestions from 170 individuals concerning how best to use the new land the city acquired adjacent to the community center.Gillian said in his Nov. 1 message to residents that the suggestions varied, but fell into three broad categories: open space and passive recreation, recreational use with facilities like a swimming pool or pickleball courts, and what the mayor called “practical” use, such as affordable housing or additional parking.
