New Ocean City leaders renew opposition to offshore wind and consider Boardwalk tram

Mayor Matt James has been sworn in and says he will continue opposing offshore wind while supporting exploration of a Boardwalk tram return. The OCDC is expected to bring tram findings to the mayor and Council; Councilman Peter Buas is seeking another offshore-wind resolution, and December court briefs are a next signal in the federal permit challenge. No local decision or permit change is reported.
