Oceanic Network Statement on Maryland Offshore Wind Project COP Approval

In response to the US Wind's Maryland Offshore Wind project receiving final approval for its Construction and Operations Plan (COP), Oceantic Network Founder and CEO Liz Burdock issued the following statement:

"Today, Maryland Offshore Wind became the 10th approved commercial-scale project, another significant achievement for the U.S. offshore wind industry. The first project for the State of Maryland, it will deliver a host of economic benefits while helping to meet our nation's growing energy demand. Maryland Offshore Wind will create American jobs by harnessing a strong, local offshore wind supply chain. US Wind has advanced plans to bring steel fabrication back to the old Bethlehem Steel facility in Dundalk, and the project will support a variety of other industries throughout its life cycle. Oceantic Network congratulates US Wind on construction approval in our home state.”
