Worcester County

Snow Hill, Maryland  – On December 17, 2024, the Worcester County Commissioners launched efforts to purchase two properties located in the West Ocean City (WOC) commercial maritime harbor to protect the county’s historic commercial and sport fishing industries. These sites, which house the only two commercial seafood wholesalers where watermen can offload and sell their catches, are the Southern Connection Seafood and the Martin Fish Company properties.
