There needs to be some outside the box ideas to get things jump started.

I'll post more in a few weeks.

FWIW: Fort Smallwood is crawling along. Tentative date is mid 2014.

I see the NIMBY crowd as nothing except selfish. They have access to the water but want few others to enjoy it.

AA county does have some water front property but most are too small for ramps. They can be made to accommodate small car top boats and kayaks.
If there's one thing I've learned in dealing with AA county is that capital projects move about as fast as mud through a syringe.

If we see a ramp at Ft Smallwood in 2014 I will be very impressed.

Skip,

What about a public / private partnership where a community splits the proceeds with the county and regulates the ramp as they see fit, within reason, ultimately governed by the county.

That way, the community has a stake in the "problems" as well as the profits.

Another thought would be the county promising to keep up some if these current private "pay" ramps while splitting the profits with the ramp owners. Another win/win.
