These Community Benefit Packages are in exchange for the commitment that these local government officials would refrain from making any negative comments or objections to US Wind’s proposed project for the term of the agreement. Ocean City, Maryland has been offered the same packages, however Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan says the Town of Ocean City is not for sale.
