Ocean City residents will get a chance to weigh in on the proposed offshore wind farm.

Specifically, the Maryland Public Service Commission will be looking at the impact of taller turbines along the coastline.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the hearing will be held on January 18th at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center.

The two projects under consideration are the Skipjack Wind Farm and MarWin Wind Farm.

The commission review comes after the developers updated their plans with taller and more powerful turbines
