Working on getting SHPO to approve project!

August 3 2007

• We have met with the FEMA representatives at Thompson Engineering and defined the critera needed for the FEMA emergency grant that we are working on.

• We contacted the SHPO (State Historical Preservation Officer) with our request for their office to approve the emergency repairs to Sand Island Lighthouse.

• We have heard back from the acting State Historical Preservation Officer (Elizabeth Brown) and we are now in the process of formulating answers tpquestions presented by the SHPO concerning the way we plan on repairing the structure.

• It will take a few weeks for us to get this done.
