Project would address silting at Mill Creek

The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors (MCBS) voted 3-1, on Tuesday, June 4, to continue grant support with the Middle Peninsula Regional Planning District Commission (MPRPDC) to come up with a plan to slow down sand build up at Mill Creek boat ramp.

“The work is being funded under an award (grant) from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Community Flood Preparedness Fund with DCR grant funds covering $26,400 of the design work and the county covering $17,600 as local match towards the effort,” wrote Smith.
