MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - The owners of White's Ferry have offered to donate the ferry to Montgomery County.
Chuck and Stacy Kuhn announced their formal donation on Tuesday.
"We are happy to propose a resolution to Montgomery County. Our goal was always to get the ferry reopened. It’s a special crossing that serves as a local economic engine and piece of history. Too many businesses and residents have had their livelihoods impacted by its closure," said Chuck Kuhn in a statement. "Despite many good faith efforts to work with the Virginia landowners to make ferry access available, donating the operation became the only solution that made sense to ensure the ferry has a chance to become a functioning part of our lives and local economy."
White's Ferry used to take hundreds of passengers every day across the Potomac River, from Loudoun County to Montgomery County.
