CAPE VINCENT — The town of Cape Vincent is looking to do more with the Tibbetts Point lighthouse. In the next month or so, town councilman Daniel A. Wiley said he expects the town will be ready to submit an application to the U.S. National Park Service to reclassify the lighthouse as historical surplus property. The councilman said the town is hoping, with fewer restrictions on how the property can be used, it will be able to generate the money necessary to properly maintain the 194-year-old lighthouse and ancillary buildings. “The bottom line is, we’re a small township, we have ownership and control of that property, it’s due for some major renovations, updates, and upkeep, and it’s a large budget item.”
