Ocean City 2050

Ocean City 2050 is a resident-led advocacy group committed to preserving Ocean City’s unique character, promoting responsible growth, and advocating for transparency in local government.

Our mission is to ensure Ocean City remains a premier family-friendly destination while balancing preservation, development, and sustainability.

Rising housing costs, environmental threats, unchecked development, and governance issues are threatening our community, yet there has been little proactive leadership to address these challenges in a way that truly protects Ocean City’s future. Too often, decisions have been reactive, short-sighted, or influenced by narrow interests rather than long-term community needs.

That’s why we are stepping up—to ensure that Ocean City’s future is shaped by smart, fact-based policies that prioritize residents, not just special interests. Ocean City deserves leadership that looks ahead, safeguards what makes our community special, and ensures we remain a thriving, family-friendly destination for generations to come.

Together, we can build a future for Ocean City that works for ALL of us.
