Due to the growing interest brought about by promising developments such as East Beach and Harbor Walk, a new East Ocean View plan is needed to synthesize previous studies with the changing economic environmental and ensure that East Ocean view is a safe and attractive place to live and play.

Planning for the future of East Ocean View is underway.  A revitalization plan is being developed by a community steering committee comprised of residents and business and other stakeholder interests.  Facilitated by the Department of Planning and Community Development and lead by City Councilman W. Randy Wright, the East Ocean View Plan will focus on the area bounded by the Chesapeake Bay to the north, Little Creek to the east, 1st Bay Street to the west and Little Creek Road to the south.  The plan will serve as a guide for future growth and potential development patterns spurred by public and private initiatives in the area.

Work on the plan began in Spring, 2003.  Focused on creating and maintaining a high quality of life in East Ocean View, the plan seeks to maintain and enhance the residential, commercial, transportation and recreational assets in the community.  A draft of the revitalization plan will be available for public comment this fall.
