LEONARDTOWN, Md. – (from TheBay.net) During the February 13, 2024, St. Mary’s County Board of County Commissioners meeting, the Commissioners received an update on the exciting Chesapeake Bay passenger ferry study.
Department of Economic Development Director Chris Kaselemis along with Development Facilitator Ben Cohen presented the current report for the study which included where they are in the process, possible routes for the ferry, and even a potential vessel.
The study, which is currently in the Stakeholder Outreach Phase, is being conducted by Cambridge Systematics and is supported by a consortium of counties including Calvert, Anne Arundel, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, and St. Mary’s. The study is funded by a matching grant awarded to Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration’s American Rescue Plan: Travel, Tourism & Outdoor Recreation Program.
According to the meeting memo, “The purpose of the Chesapeake Bay Passenger Ferry Feasibility Study is to evaluate the potential for a new passenger ferry service that could stimulate economic growth within each host community, provide improved access to the Bay, provide new water transportation connectivity options, and promote enhanced tourism opportunities throughout the region.”
