A future ferry operation is one step closer to returning to Yarmouth. The province announced today they have opened up a request for proposals for a ferry to operate once again between the town and the United States. The government used a draft request for proposals to consult with potential ferry operators. Premier Darrell Dexter says that step helped gather interest.Dexter says the province is prepared to commit as much as $21-million over seven years to attract a long-term ferry service in Yarmouth. He is hopeful the federal government will partner with the province on the new ferry. The deadline to submit a proposal is January 24.
