“The Ocean Park Civic League has asked our Board of Directors to reach out to the City and ask that any decision on this property use be deferred until the City can communicate with our membership on the plans and the environmental, neighborhood & public safety impacts.”

On Thursday Feb 6th the Ocean Park Civic League unanimously voted to request the OPCL BOD to send a letter to the Mayor & City Council re: Orsted plan for Lesner Municipal Wharf

The current idea has prompted many questions due to its impact on Ocean Park, safety on Shore Drive & the wildly popular Lynnhaven Boat Ramp & Beach Facility.

We wrote to Governor Northam requesting his help in setting up a partnership in Ocean Park.

Our January 2019 Letter to Governor Northam.

We were delighted to hear about the recent funding for the Lynnhaven River clean-up efforts, and the partnership developed between the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and Lynnhaven River Now. We are particularly interested in promoting efforts to create an aquaculture center to raise the oyster spats right here in Ocean Park. There is probably no other area in the Lynnhaven that already has the infrastructure and the type of moving water needed that would make a better match for this project.

“Therefore, a public hearing will not be held.”

ACOE response to Lynnhaven Municipal Wharf Public Hearing request.

After a thorough review of our extensive project record as well as comments received, I have determined that a public hearing would not likely result in substantive new information relevant to our authorities and the required analysis.
