(BURLINGTON, Ky.) -- Promoters of a controversial proposal to open a ferry on the Ohio River that would travel between northern Kentucky and Indiana have withdrawn the proposal.
The Rising Sun/Ohio County Port Authority in Indiana pulled its request for a zone change Tuesday. Florence attorney Gerry Dusing, who was representing the port authority, did not explain the action but dropped hints that this idea could be resurrected.
Some Boone County residents said the Ohio River operation would have increased traffic and noisein March after the plans became public.
The proposal had called for a public boat ramp and about eight parking spots at the ferry's docking point in Kentucky on property located on Ky. 18 in Belleview. The ferry would have been able to carry eight cars at a time.
Ed Sullivan, executive director of the Rising Sun Regional Foundation, which was planning to fund part of the project, declined to comment.
