A tense City Council meeting Thursday night sparked more community debate about a proposed $150 million luxury hotel on the Ocean City Boardwalk, and also included the surprise announcement from a councilman that he will not seek re-election.
Less than three hours before the meeting’s start time of 6 p.m., city officials announced they were moving the location from City Hall to the large lecture room at the Ocean City Free Public Library to accommodate what was expected to be a big turnout.
