County Moves Closer To Parking Fees At Public Boat Ramp

BERLIN – Plans to charge parking fees to out-of-state users at a Bishopville boat ramp are moving forward.

A pilot program that will charge parking fees to out-of-state vehicles at the Shell Mill boat ramp in Bishopville should be up and running within a few months, according to county officials.

“We’re likely going to implement it during the summer,” said Weston Young, Worcester County’s chief administrative officer.

In March, the Worcester County Commissioners agreed to create a program to charge out-of-state users a $10 daily parking fee at the Shell Mill boat ramp. County staff plan to use ParkMobile or a similar service to charge non-Maryland patrons $10 a day to park at the ramp. From each $10, the county would receive $9.15 in revenue.

The pilot program was created as a way to bring some order to the facility as well as a way to ensure out-of-state users are contributing something to the upkeep of the site.

  1. Awesome, do the same for every parking lot in OC too. Instead of taxing the hell out of us locals, make these tourons contribute!

  2. You got to be kidding me. For that backwoods ramp. Your gonna charge 10 dollars? Crisfield is only 7.00. Next will be the West O boat ramp. Worcester County, the biggest tax, & fee County in Md.

  3. Democrats.

    Don’t even let them crack the door open an inch.

    They will kick in down and run right over you. To get to your money.

    Best thing to do is start hanging them.

    No joke.

    They are more dangerous than an injured wolf.

    We could make a big party out of hanging them on the street lamps. A Mardi Gras type thing. What a joy that would be….
