Commissioners warn ferry funding could be jeopardized after comment-response delay

The Ferry Committee told the Calhoun County Board that the mandatory public comment period for the ferry funding application had closed but staff initially failed to submit required written responses to public comments, causing an approximately two-week delay in processing the application. Comm. Mary Louise Clark said the timing is critical with a Sept. 30 deadline and cautioned that missing the deadline could "jeopardize more than one million dollars in available funding for the project."
