Ocean City will not buy office building for police headquarters

The former Crown Bank building towers over the corner of Eighth Street and Asbury Avenue in downtown Ocean City.

Ocean City announced Tuesday that it will not pursue the purchase of a century-old landmark office building to serve as the new police department headquarters.

Just last Thursday, City Council introduced a bond ordinance to possibly buy the former Crown Bank building at 801 Asbury Ave. for $12.6 million pending an analysis of the building’s structural integrity and renovation costs.
