Middlesex considering using local contractors to fix Mill Creek Landing

by Larry Chowning – 

At the Middlesex County Board of Supervisors meeting on February 4, Hartfield District supervisor John Koontz suggested local contractors be allowed to remove sand from the boat ramp at Mill Creek Landing in Wake.      

Koontz said that he has received calls from constituents regarding the boat landing and he is looking for a “local” solution to fix the problem.

For over a year now, the ramp has been shut down because sand buildup has obstructed the ramp. The ownership and maintenance of the ramp belongs to VDOT and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF).
