Ribboncutting Monday for restored lighthouse
Special to the Times
On Monday, Feb. 1 at noon, the St. George Lighthouse Association (SGLA) along with the Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony and grand re-opening of the Cape St. George Lighthouse.
The Lighthouse has been closed for the month of January to complete a significant restoration project - the largest restoration project since the lighthouse was originally reconstructed at the center of St. George Island in 2008.
The lantern room cage was suffering with extensive rust and cracked glass panes and the masonry tower was in need of some TLC. Specialized contractors mitigated the lantern room cage of rust and painted the cage with a three-step industrial coating.
