Franklin County completes temporary repairs to Ferry Dock Road Boat Ramp

            The county has done some temporary repairs to the boat ramp at the end of ferry Dock Road in Eastpoint and hope to find some grant money to do more substantial work over the next few years.
The public works department said it has added some rock to the foot of the ramp to keep trailers from getting hung up and damaged.
The ramp has already claimed a few trailers – its being pretty heavily used at this time because of the reshelling program.
The county said the repairs are only temporary, but the county has agreed to apply for a state boating improvement grant this spring to pay for more substantial work.

Alan Pierce said if the county gets the grant it will probably allow for engineering in 2016 and the actual repairs in 2017.
