County Board asks VDOT to continue funding Hatton Ferry

The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors sent a letter to Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Commissioner David Ekern requesting that VDOT continue funding the Hatton Ferry in Scottsville.

Last month, in an effort to meet its budget shortfall, VDOT recommended the closure of the service. The Board’s letter asks VDOT to fund the 140-year-old ferry for the first quarter starting on July 1, the same day the Board will meet to discuss appropriation of funds for the operation.
