OC Convention Center Heads Towards Phase 3 of Expansion

OC Convention Center Website

Phase three is about to begin in the expansion of the Ocean City Convention Center.

Officials said that a tentative plan has been discussed by the Town Council that would expand the north end of the center and add 28-thousand feet to the main exhibit hall.

The first two phases added a new bay front exhibit area and a 12-hundred seat, two-story auditorium at a cost of $23 million.

City engineer Terry McGean told WBOC that the third phase will begin with a marketing and feasibility study to assess the demand.
