Board of Supervisors Approves State Forest Sustainability Funds to Provide a Self-Service Kayak Rental Station at the Appomattox River Regional Park 

At its November 9, 2022 meeting, the Board of Supervisors granted authority for the Assessor to apply for a Virginia Department of Forestry Forest Sustainability Fund grant.  The General Assembly created the sustainability fund to assist localities in replacing tax revenue losses resulting from offering the land use program for forestland.  An award of $6,828.69 was received by Prince George County on January 4, 2023.  The Staff recommendation was to use the funds for a self-service Kayak Rental Station at the Appomattox River Regional Park.   

The estimated cost of the self-service kayak rental is $16,000.  The remaining funds needed to purchase the rental station and annual fee of $2,800 will come from Tourism Funds.  The Prince George County Comprehensive Plan encourages the County to provide recreational needs for citizens and to explore opportunities to provide additional access to the James and Appomattox Rivers. The funds will allow for the completion of additional outdoor recreation initiatives at the Appomattox River Regional Park. The addition of the Kayak Rental Station at the Appomattox River Regional Park adds to the existing 65 acres of wooded trails, observatory pier, kayak/canoe launch pavilion, restrooms and greenspace provided to our citizens. The Kayak Rental Station will provide accessories to citizens and visitors to enjoy the outdoors and the river.
