Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Andy Harris, M.D., released the following statement in response to Worcester County Commissioners announcing plans to use eminent domain to prevent US Wind from purchasing two seafood wholesale properties in West Ocean City's Commercial Maritime Harbor.

The statement comes as US Wind's parent company, Renexia SpA, is looking to demolish the harbor's only commercial seafood wholesalers, Southern Connection Seafood and the Martin Fish Company.

Statement From Congressman Harris:

"I applaud the Worcester County Commissioners for taking the necessary action to save their historic commercial fishing harbor and keeping it from being demolished by US Wind, a foreign owned, US taxpayer subsidized, multi-billion-dollar corporation. I look forward to working with President Trump to end all offshore wind development when he is back in office."
