Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich offered $3 million to restart White’s Ferry service, which stopped in December 2020 when a dispute over landing rights emerged.

The proposal—funded with $1.5 million from Maryland’s fiscal 2026 budget and $1.5 million from a county capital improvement amendment—includes DOT assistance until July 1, 2026 as the county works to resolve the disagreement between the ferry’s owners.

Last week, community members in Lovettsville expressed concern when a developer submitted a revised application to rezone a four-acre lot along Berlin Turnpike for an assisted living facility that would allow 80 residents and expand the building to two stories with a maximum average height of 35 feet. Town planning raised issues over parking, increased density, and utility risks—residents worry about the visual impact and traffic—and HK&S Services has pledged $183,000 to improve water system redundancy, though no additional funding has been identified.

Maryland authorities announced Friday that up to $3M is available to help restart White’s Ferry service, which closed in December 2020, and the two property owners—Rockland Farm LLC’s Libby Devlin and JK Land Holdings’ Chuck Kuhn—are now reviewing options amid new zoning challenges.

Vista Ridge Drive will be closed at its intersection with Fort Evans Road for utility work, and local officials expect the disruption to be temporary.
