Mayor describes ferry plan, says South River could host a ferry hub
Summary
Mayor Pete Guindi told the EDC the town is working to have the river dredged for ferry services with three stops planned — Carteret, South Amboy (under construction) and South River — and suggested South River might provide property for a ferry hub.
Mayor Pete Guindi told the EDC Redevelopment Committee that the town is pursuing river dredging to enable ferry services connecting multiple stops. "Working to have river dredged for ferry services, 3 new stops in the pipeline: 1. Carteret 2. South Amboy (stop is open already with construction underway) 3. South River," the minutes report.
Guindi said the idea under discussion would have South River provide a piece of property for a ferry hub to be built. The minutes do not include details on funding sources, a timeline for dredging, required permits, or which agencies would implement dredging and ferry operations. No vote or formal motion on the ferry plan was recorded in the minutes.
