Waterway Maintenance Planning for Folly Creek, Hungars Creek, Nassawadox Creek, and Red Banks Creek
Waterway Maintenance Planning for Folly Creek, Hungars Creek, Nassawadox Creek, and Red Banks Creek
Accomack and Northampton Counties were awarded $426,500 from the Virginia Port Authority through the Virginia Waterway Maintenance Fund on July 2, 2020 to complete the Folly Creek, Hungars Creek, Nassawadox Creek, and Red Bank projects. The Waterway Maintenance Fund's purpose is to support shallow-draft dredging and beneficial use projects that are not covered by federal funding throughout the Commonwealth. This website will be used as a crucial element in this project to gather information from local stakeholders on potential beneficial use areas along each channel to prevent erosion and stabilize shorelines.
