## Contract Awarded
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Baltimore District announced Tuesday that it has awarded a $25.7 million contract for the 'renourishment' of Ocean City beaches.
## Storm Damage Response
The project addresses erosion from a recent nor'easter that pulled sand from Ocean City’s beaches offshore.
## Contractor Details
Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Co., a Houston-based contractor, will begin work in late 2026 or early 2027 and finish before next Memorial Day.
## Commander Statement
Col. Francis Pera said the Corps is working with local and state partners to reduce risk after the storm caused significant beach erosion.
## Sand Replenishment Plan
The project will take 982,000 cubic yards of sand from Weaver Shoal to replenish the beaches, part of routine maintenance.
## Timeline and Funding
The project, jointly funded by the Corps, Maryland, and local governments, was delayed until Congress authorized funding in 2025.
## Key takeaway

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $25.7 million contract for Ocean City beach renourishment to address erosion from a recent nor'easter.
