The Ocean City Development Corporation receives a new grant to try and incentivize people to develop employee housing in the downtown area. 

The Beach Patrol is still in need for lifeguards for the upcoming summer season and the town is trying to lend a helping hand. 

Ocean City, Maryland is trying to address the lack of seasonal employee housing problem. They are in talks to change the zoning code in Ocean City, so that businesses can build employee housing away from the vicinity of their business. 

A zoning code amendment is up for discussion with the Planning Commission in ocean city. The code as it stands states that businesses can only provide seasonal employee housing if it is an accessory to their business and on site but the new code will allow for employee housing to be non accessory and off site.
