Lighthouse preservation grant for Eagle Harbor

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — More than $113,000 in state preservation grants has been awarded to three Michigan lighthouses, including one in Keweenaw County.

The Michigan State Housing Development Authority says the funding will help pay for work at the North Manitou Shoal Light, Grosse Ile Light and Eagle Harbor Lighthouse.

Funding for Michigan Lighthouse Assistance Program grants comes from the sale of specialty Save Our Lights license plates.

North Manitou Light Keepers will receive $40,000 to hire a consultant to produce a report guiding future rehabilitation work for the light near Leland in Michigan’s northwestern Lower Peninsula.
