Flurry of project updates during Sat. OPA meeting

(March 2, 2017) Ocean Pines Interim General Manager Brett Hill provided updates to several ongoing – and completed – projects during a public meeting on Saturday.
Hill, during his monthly report to the board, said new heaters had been installed on the second floor at Mumford’s Landing, formerly known as the yacht club.
Security gates were put around two of the bar areas at Mumford’s, and the point of sale system is being updated and should be completed during the next two weeks.
He said the club had resumed normal offseason hours and was keeping to a regular series of events. That includes karaoke on Wednesday, trivia nights on Thursday, live entertainment in the ballroom on Friday, live entertainment in The Cove restaurant, downstairs, on Saturday and “family night” on Sunday.
At the golf and country club, Hill said first-floor renovations were on schedule to finish by mid-to-late March, including installation of new HVAC units and a major overhaul of the first floor.
He said upgrades at the beach club hit a snag when minor termite damage was discovered there. However, Hill said he was confident the work could be done without exceeding the original budget contingency approved by the board of directors. The opening target date there is Mother’s Day, May 14.
Conversions of the sports fields at Huntington Park and installation of new bathrooms at White Horse Park have finished, Hill said.
In playground news, demolition of the old structure at Manklin Meadows has finished and installation of a new playground should wrap by May.
The pirate-theme playground at Mumford’s Landing should be up and running this month. Hill said delivery and setup of the structure was scheduled for March 8. A fence will be installed on March 9, and the playground should be shipshape and open for use by March 10.
