BERLIN – Municipal officials agreed to send a letter in support of Ocean City’s request for sports complex funding from the state.
The Berlin Town Council voted 4-0 this week to have Mayor Zack Tyndall send a letter to the Maryland Department of Budget and Management in support of the Town of Ocean City’s request for $1.2 million in state funding to perform a site assessment and start preliminary design of a youth sports complex.
“I think it’s appropriate for us to support the initiative for a sports complex,” Councilman Jay Knerr said. “I think it would be a great thing for Worcester County so I think we should all support this letter. This in no way obligates us to a location. That’s yet to be decided.”
Tyndall told the council he was seeking approval of a letter he planned to send to the state in support of the Town of Ocean City’s November request for $1.2 million in funding.
Councilman Jack Orris asked if Tyndall could provide any information about the efforts of the sports complex task force Ocean City formed to help bring a facility to the area.
