Scenic Lincoln Way seeks CVB support for historic 'Abraham' boat project

Representatives of Scenic Lincoln Way appealed to the Perry County Visitors Bureau board on March 5 for financial help to finish and operate a historic flat‑boat project called the “Abraham.” Scenic Lincoln Way’s board president introduced Katie Papano, who described the outstanding costs as insurance, Coast Guard‑required safety equipment, licenses and storage, and said she paid $1,100 for a professional inspection to obtain an insurance quote. Papano told the board the boat, motor and trailer are paid for, but the insurance will not become effective until the boat is launched.
