Senior Week is definite plus to Ocean City?s economy

High school seniors flooding Ocean City for a week of post-graduation partying have been known to cause occasional chaos. But commotion or not, they come at a good time.

“These graduates are our bread-and-butter during the month of June,” said Donna Greenwood, chairwoman of the Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee. “The impact [Senior Week] has on businesses in the area helps for the early part of summer when the rest of the kids are still in school [and] families aren’t traveling.”
