LIGHTHOUSE STEP PROJECT COMPLETE
The long anticipated construction of permanent steps, at the entrance of the lighthouse, is complete. For years, temporary wooden steps were used for access to the lighthouse. After a lengthy process of submitting architectural drawings for Coast Guard and New Jersey State Historic Site approval, construction got underway. The masonry steps and entry pad were constructed by Mickleton Concrete of Mickleton, NJ. Once the steps were completed, the memorial brick paver walkway, leading to them, was removed and reinstalled resulting in a wider walkway. The paver phase was accomplished by Temple Hardscape of Williamstown, NJ. The project was made possible, in part, by a memorial grant from the New Jersey Lighthouse Society in memory of Carol Ann Cook.
