The Federal Government Services Administration (GSA) has announced that seven (7) Great Lakes lighthouses are being made available to federal agencies, state and local governments, nonprofit corporations and community development organizations for park/recreation/historic/cultural or educational use. The lighthouses being offered are:

Toledo, Ohio Harbor Light,

Fairport, Ohio Harbor West Pierhead Light,

Menominee, Michigan North Pierhead Light,

Ludington, Michigan North Breakwater Light,

Holland, Michigan Harbor South Pierhead Light,

Charlevoix, Michigan South Pierhead Light and

Chicago, Illinois Harbor Light.

Eligible parties must respond, by May 6, 2005, to: GSA Property Disposal, 230 S. Dearborn Street-Room 3774, Chicago, IL 60604. Letters of interest must include state certified article of incorporation. For more information call 312-353-6045

Of this group, I would venture a guess that the "problem child" will be Holland. Wonder if the dirt bag snobs will try to get control of it so that they can shut down access except for 1 or 2 days a year??????

Maybe we need to get Jeff & Mary (TwoBeacons) on the "want to own" list . . . . . .

That's quite a list of lights. I trust the new owners, whomever they may be, have to restore and maintain the property to certain standards and not turn the property into another use.
