The Visit Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, Inc. received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration to conduct a Chesapeake Bay passenger ferry feasibility study. The study will be carried out under the EDA's Economic Development Technical Assistance program (CFDA 11.303) to help strengthen the regional economy, support private investment, and create jobs. The two-year feasibility study aims to assist local economic development efforts by developing plans for passenger ferry service in the Chesapeake Bay region of Maryland. The grant will support the sub-awardee Visit Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, Inc. in conducting an analysis of demand, routes, and financial projections to determine the viability and economic impact of establishing ferry transportation across the Bay.
