Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan told WGMD’s Mike Bradley Monday that it’s important that residents, visitors and businesses make their views heard by Maryland regulators. The Mayor added that while the town recognizes the importance of alternative sources of energy, the proximity of wind turbines offshore remains a major concern.
