Ferry Rescue Awaits State Funds | Charleston News

The Sistersville Ferry is on the verge of returning—just waiting for final state funding to pay for its replacement boat. After a damaging fall and months out of commission, the old ferry sits in dry dock while a new vessel stands ready to roll. A $10K donation from one lawmaker has arrived, but two more $25K checks are still pending—critical to cover the full cost. With hopes of resuming service by October and possibly running into November, this vital link for daily commuters to Ohio’s hospital and foundry could soon be back in action, cutting commute time and hassle for hundreds.
