Federal Court Dismisses US Wind Cross-Claim

OCEAN CITY, Md. – A federal judge has granted the federal defendants’ motion to dismiss US Wind’s cross-claim in the ongoing litigation surrounding the construction of off-shore wind turbines near Delmarva’s coastline.

The Town of Ocean City says they were notified on Friday, Feb. 13, that Judge Stephanie Gallagher of the United States District Court had dismissed the cross-claim “without prejudice.” This ruling means that the Court did not rule on the underlying merits of the claim.

“We will continue to vigorously defend the interests of Ocean City’s residents, property owners, and visitors,” commented Mayor Rick Meehan. “Protecting the economic vitality of our resort community and preserving the character of our coastline remain our highest priorities. We are encouraged by Friday’s decision and will continue to pursue this matter through the appropriate legal channels.”
