Franklin
county commissioners are seeking state grant money to do some much needed
repairs to the boat ramp at the end of ferry Dock Road in Eastpoint.
The board last week approved a resolution
requesting a Florida Boating Improvement grant to repair the ramp.
The ramp was last renovated in
1985 – it’s showing signs of age.
Recently the county had to add some rock
to the foot of the ramp to keep trailers from getting hung up and damaged – but
that was just a temporary fix.
The ramp is pretty
heavily used, especially by crabbers and oystermen.
The county applied for a similar grant
last year but the project was not funded.
If the county gets the grant this
year it will probably allow for engineering in 2016 and the actual repairs in
2017.
