  • Repair cracked exterior knee walls bordering riverside basement slab. Est. $200.
  • Replace indoor emergency lighting system. Est. $500.
  • Provide access to disabled visitors.  Install a ground level, exterior lift near the front entrance, provide a paved walkway with access to the lift.  Improve landscaping in the area.
  • Provide paved walkway access to the lighthouse entrance.  Improve landscaping in the area.
  • Remove old telephone wire from basement ceiling (left over from computers that timed crew races). N/C
