Summary
In March 2002, the Beaver Island South End Lighthouse School reported a $257,813 Michigan waterfront redevelopment grant for restoration work at the 1851 lighthouse property. The reported scope prioritized the lighthouse residence, fog-signal building, and barn foundation, with matching donations, architectural specifications, and contractor bidding still ahead.
Evidence limits
