Harris Announces Dredging of Ocean City Inlet

July 9, 2021

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) announced that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has committed to stop and dredge in Ocean City in late July. This plan will allow the Army Corps to address the known shoaling in the inlet as well as potentially remove other obstacles caused by Tropical Storm Elsa. Specifically, the corps will be in town for 48 hours of inlet work between July 26th and 29th.

Congressman Harris issued the following statement:

"I thank the Army Corps of Engineers for their commitment to address the known shoaling along the inlet, especially in advance of the previous schedule. Ocean City is a beacon for boating recreation and recreational and commercial fishing, and this dredging work will alleviate the very consistent concerns I hear from my constituents. I remain committed to ensuring that projects like this receive proper consideration and funding in Congress."
