The structure, strategically positioned on the corner of Talbot Street and South Philadelphia Avenue in downtown Ocean City, is the first permanent home for the Ocean City Beach Patrol since the 1930’s. The 3-story, 9,477 square foot building will house the Ocean City Beach Patrol, Junior Beach Patrol and Ocean City Police bike patrol. The first floor is dedicated to operations with the Ocean City Police Department bike room and front lobby, the second floor dedicated to training and third floor is for administrative services.
The new garage will be used for storage of jet skis, ATV’s and will also be used as a gym. The building can also be used as a public safety building in the case of an emergency.
“Gillis Gilkerson is proud to serve the Ocean City Beach Patrol with a new space to call home,” said Dwight Miller, president, Gillis Gilkerson. “As first responders, these men and women train hard to keep our community and visitor’s safe on the beach. They definitely deserve a permanent home.”
“Doing a project like this is a true team effort and we certainly couldn’t have accomplished our goal without the hard work and dedication of our employees and partners,” said Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan. “This building is befitting of the professionalism of our citizens in Ocean City, from the beach patrol to our police department and beyond. Everyone who had a hand in this beautiful new home for our beach ambassadors should be very proud. It was long overdue and it was certainly worth the wait!”
