The owners of White’s Ferry announced Tuesday that they have offered to donate the operation to Montgomery County to “enhance the odds” of reopening the historic Potomac River crossing, which has been closed since December 2020.
“We are happy to propose a resolution to Montgomery County,” said Chuck Kuhn, the CEO of JK Land Holdings in a press release. “Our goal was always to get the ferry reopened.”
Kuhn and his wife, Stacy, own the ferry and the Maryland shoreline of the operation, which includes a store and grill. Chuck Kuhn wrote in the release that the ferry, “serves as a local economic engine and piece of history. Too many businesses and residents have had their livelihoods impacted by its closure.”
