Summary
In June 2000, the State of Michigan Office of Historic Preservation awarded a grant to the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District’s Youth Employment and Training Program. The grant supported hiring a historic architect to plan restoration and maintenance of the Lighthouse School campus, including the 1851 lighthouse tower. The article says the plan was due the following February and that later state funding would reflect cash and materials secured by February 2001.
