Working hand in hand with the Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire Department, we are exploring options for a new stand alone building to house fire apparatus.

Baloney. The board already voted to give the fire department a chunk of White Horse Park.

Saying OPA is assisting the OPVFD to build a "stand alone building to house fire apparatus" is not accurate.  It gives the reader the impression the FD is going to build a little building to park a couple of pieces of fire equipment inside, and not that this new facility will house equipment, a large parking lot, a second floor for meetings and community events, etc.

This spin is exactly what the prior BOD was feeding members.  Nothing appears to change.
