Green Light For Lighthouse Project

Suffolk County has agreed to let an East Hampton-based preservation group spearhead the renovation of the historic but dilapidated lighthouse at Cedar Point County Park, once the gateway to one of the country’s biggest whaling ports.

Members of the Long Island Chapter of the U.S. Lighthouse Society said this week that they have reached an agreement with the county Department of Parks to give the group the licenses necessary to oversee the renovation, which will allow them to begin raising money in earnest for the effort.
