Salisbury, MD – The Wicomico County Information Center will temporarily close its restrooms this winter for renovations. The Center, located on Route 13 in Delmar, MD will close its restrooms beginning on January 13, 2015. The remainder of the Welcome Center will remain open during the renovations, and it is expected to be fully operational again by mid-February.
The current restroom facilities are original to the building, which was built in 1996. Funding for the project comes from a capital escrow account, which was established by the tourism division to cover maintenance and repair costs for the Welcome Center. The tourism division is funded through a 6% local hotel room tax, and it does not require a County tax subsidy in order to operate or maintain its facilities.
Travelers to the area may visit Maryland’s State Dept. of Transportation State Highway Administration web site for a listing of alternative rest areas www.roads.maryland.gov.
