Work at Beaver Head goes Forward
The Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District/ Michigan
Works! Division and Charlevoix Public Schools have accepted bids
for the Lighthouse and Fog Signal restoration in the following
areas:
- General Trades: Pinnacle Integrated Construction & Design
- Doors: Northern Michigan Glass
- Masonry: Northern Restoration
- Roofing & Sheetmetal: Haggard Plumbing & Heating
- Plaster: Bouma Corporation
- Fire Protection: Haggard Plumbing & Heating
- Plumbing & HVAC: Haggard Plumbing & Heating
- Electrical: Haggard Plumbing & Heating
- Painting: yet to be determined.
The DEQ and the State Historic Preservation Office have approved
specs from Diekema/Hamann Architecture, and we expect National
Park Service approval soon. We hope to begin work in June, which
means there will be limitations this summer on the accessibility
of the public to certain areas. Hopefully, everyone can appreciate
the necessity to maintain a perimeter around the construction
zones. We are optimistically looking forward to getting the restoration
completed during the short summer construction season and re-opening
to the public and tourists as soon as possible.
