We have a long-term lease with the Village of Grand Manan who own the property and are also working to reunite the light house with the other keepers buildings.
We have received two grants from the Regional Development Corporation, administered through Enterprise Charlotte to develop a business plan (2010) and for restoration work to the keepers buildings (2010-2011).
Built Heritage also awarded SKS with two grants for the business plan (2010) and restorations to the keepers house (2011).
We are also grateful to the Grand Manan Rotary who raised funds to have the light house painted in 2004 and brought Rotarians from Seminole, Florida, to paint the keepers buildings in 2009.
