In response to the commissioners’ attempt to block the company’s purchase of two parcels in the Ocean City Commercial Harbor by seizing them through eminent domain, US Wind’s legal representatives wrote in a Dec. 30 letter that it will sue the county government and the commissioners themselves to protect its investment.
Noting that it has more money than the county’s total annual budget tied up in its plan to erect 114 wind energy turbines off the coast of Ocean City, the company promised a vigorous legal response if the commissioners don’t stop trying to kill its agreement to buy the Harbor Road parcels from seafood wholesalers Southern Connection Seafood and Martin Fish Company.

But a Dec. 30 letter from Baltimore attorney Thomas K. Prevas, a partner in the national law firm Saul Ewing, implied that US Wind is prepared to cost the county millions of dollars if it persists.
“US Wind intends to litigate to the fullest extent to protect its constitutional and other rights to construct the offshore wind project,” Prevas said in his letter to the commissioners and County Attorney Roscoe Leslie.
He further argued that government interference in private contract and private property rights violates the federal and state constitutions, the Maryland Declaration of Rights and common law. He also noted that the county’s intentional interference also “creates personal liability for governmental officials involved in such activity.
The mask drops.
