JAMES CITY COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) — U.S. Senators Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine secured more than $5 million in federal grant money for the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry.
“Nearly a million vehicles use the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry every year,” said the senators. “This over-$5 million grant will be instrumental to the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation’s efforts to keep this vital transportation resource running safely and efficiently for the many Virginians who rely on it.”
The funds will be used to modernize passenger ferry slips which will help maintain passenger safety.
Both senators helped pass the federal funding bill that made this investment possible.
