Benzie County backs conceptual Point Betsie Lighthouse restoration
Summary
The board voted to support the conceptual Point Betsie Lighthouse Restoration Project and pledged backing to Friends of Point Betsie Lighthouse as they seek funding to complete the project.
The Benzie County Board of Commissioners voted July 8 to support the conceptual restoration of the Point Betsie Lighthouse and committed to supporting efforts by Friends of Point Betsie Lighthouse to secure funding.
Presenters Ed Hoogterp and Chuck Clarke answered questions from commissioners during the Old Business portion of the meeting. Commissioner Sauer moved, and Commissioner Trigg seconded, a motion to support the conceptual project; the motion passed unanimously.
The motion commits the county to a supportive role for fundraising and does not itself appropriate funds; minutes record the board’s endorsement and willingness to assist Friends of Point Betsie Lighthouse in acquiring funding to complete the restoration.
No specific funding source or project timeline was recorded in the minutes.
