Questions and Answers
Recreational boating is a popular activity and there are approximately 250,000 registered boats in Virginia. Many more boats-canoes and kayaks-that are not registered use existing facilities and are in need of additional sites. This grant program provides up to 75% of the approved project costs to construct or renovate boating access facilities for both trailered and smaller, hand-launched boats. Applications are due no later than October 1, 2012; grants will be awarded by January 1, 2013. Funds will be provided on a reimbursement basis.
