2019 Capital Plan Announced

admin 2019, General

After two generations of restoration, our Harbor Beach Lighthouse stands proud! The Society has spent 37 years restoring our lighthouse. The list of projects includes many that were capital intensive, including the Fresnel lens installation and rebuilding the Fog Signal Building. In all cases, besides any specific technical expertise we couldn?t source internally, everything we?ve done has been with volunteer labor that not only saved us money we didn?t need to raise, but we believe the work was superior just because we enjoy a wealth of talent available to us in the area who rally around our local team leaders when needed. It has been a joy for all of us to honor your donations by doing the very best work we can while keeping our costs as low as possible, all while adhering to the best practices of lighthouse restoration.

2019 marks the transition from a final annual capital request for restoration. After this one big push, we can all take a breath, and rejoice that now our Lighthouse will not need major structural capital for ten to twenty years! The next phase will focus on programming the museum displays in the new Fog Shed, which will not be capital intensive, and solidifying the tour and group visit program which will provide us with a yearly income. Also, after all this effort we must think about strengthening the endowment, which involves ongoing gifts and remembering the Lighthouse in our wills so it can be shining the light for generations to come.

Directors Announce Capital Plan for 2018

admin 2018, General

The Society’s work?plan for this summer is well underway. Please read the attached to see what we’re doing now and our plan to finish all of our capital restoration projects by summer 2019.

You’ll notice from shore that we are in the process of stripping and repainting the crib base and upper decks of the lighthouse building, with the tower the final capital project next summer.

At the marina you’ll see our new gift shop trailer which is already way ahead of previous years sales thanks to a bright open space that is much larger than we had before.

The Fog Signal building’s interior is being finished and exhibits are in the planning stages for a museum quality experience when we open next summer.

For more info visit the Capital Plan page. Please read the Case Statement which includes a mail in donation form. If you have any questions feel free to use the contact form here. We appreciate your help in previous years and hope you will join us in funding these great?projects!
