Summary
After the state budget crisis eased, a previously awarded $15,000 grant for an engineering study of Whiskey Point Light was expected to be released. Upper Peninsula Architects and Engineers was selected to examine doors, windows, the stairway, ventilation, bricks, and the foundation. The reported total study cost was $22,750, with the remaining amount to be paid by the Great Lakes Keweenaw Association and St. James Township; a report was expected by September 30.
