The Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) Downtown Substation project is located at the intersection of Baltimore Avenue and Somerset Street in downtown Ocean City.

OCPD has an existing substation off the Boardwalk near Worcester Street and as

tourism continues to grow, so does the need for an improved substation facility. The new facility will include workforce housing for the OCPD on the 3rd floor and office spaces and meeting areas for daily operations on the 2nd floor. The 1st floor will include a public-facing lobby, bicycle repair garage, and public restrooms.

The 3-story facility was designed by Becker Morgan Group (BMG) as the Architect and Engineer of record and has been designed in coordination with the Ocean City Development Corporation (OCDC), reinforcing OCDC’s ongoing efforts to revitalize and support downtown businesses and residents. The substation is being constructed on a previous Town owned 100% impervious parking lot surface. The 3-story building is supported on a shallow foundation.

As parking is at a premium in Ocean City, ample free parking is reserved in advance for the Site Tour.

Hard Hat, Safety Vest, Glasses

and Steel Toe Boots.
