GRAND HAVEN, MI – More than $75,000 in renovations to Grand Haven’s iconic Lake Michigan lighthouse will bring it one step closer to opening as a public museum.
The entrance lighthouse will receive repairs to its lantern room as part of an ongoing preservation process that has taken at least 10 years.
That’s according to Dave Karpin, president of the Grand Haven Lighthouse Conservancy, which will match a $37,879 state grant for the repairs.
Once the lantern room repairs are completed, likely this fall, the lighthouse will undergo repairs to its cement base, Karpin said.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (GRBJ) - The city of Grand Haven, in partnership with Housing Next, reduced barriers to the creation of housing at all price points with recent updates to its zoning ordinance and approval of a first-of-its-kind housing development in West Michigan.
The new zoning ordinance was approved by the Grand Haven City Council in January and is aimed at improving housing choice and supply across the city, promoting greater mobility choices for residents, providing more equitable access to wealth creation and streamlining the zoning approval process for developers, among other key changes.
