Congressman Harris Applauds Trump Administration for Filing to Vacate Offshore Wind Project

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) released the following statement applauding the Trump Administration for formally filing to vacate the Biden Administration's approval of the US Wind Offshore project off the coast of Maryland.

The filing marks a major development in the ongoing fight over the wind farm. For years, Ocean City officials, fishermen, business leaders, and residents have warned the project would harm the Eastern Shore's economy and environment.

Statement From Congressman Harris:

"I applaud the Trump Administration's decision to vacate the Biden Administration's reckless approval of the US Wind Offshore project. This is a victory for the people of Ocean City and Maryland's Eastern Shore, who were consistently ignored by federal bureaucrats pushing this offshore project without proper local input or approval. Offshore wind poses serious risks to our coastal economy, marine environment, national security, and the livelihoods of watermen. I thank President Trump for standing up for my constituents and will continue working with him and his administration to end this project once and for all."
