The target date for completion is the Spring of 2025. The project was only made possible by the strong partnerships with neighboring landowners, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, the Army Corps of Engineers and the untiring work of the county Board of Supervisors, county staff and the Access to Public Waters Workgroup.

I'm excited that after decades of talking about public access to the waters here today we are making it happen.” [Jason Bellows, Board of Supervisors District 3]   “Lancaster County has 330 miles of shoreline, but very little that is available for public use. This public/private partnership between the County, Windmill Point Marina and The Landing Owners Association will help solve that problem and is a win-win for all parties by stabilizing a quickly eroding shoreline and creating an expanded public beach with a new public fishing pier. ” [Don Gill, County Administrator] Project Partners: GuernseyTingle Kimley-Horn Bay Design Group Bay Shore Design Docks of the Bay
