(Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)You could be the owner of a Lake Superior lighthouse without having to pay for it.
It sounds too good to be true, and it kind of is, but kind of isn't.
Under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000, the lighthouse property will be given, at no cost, to eligible parties, "defined as federal agencies, state and local agencies, non-profit corporations, educational agencies, or community development organizations, for education, park, recreation, cultural, or historic preservation purposes," according to a release.
So, you can snag the lighthouse for your summer party needs. Also, the lighthouse is in “excess to the needs,” according to the statement.
It's still a great opportunity for the right entity. Any eligible party must send in a letter of interest by July 7 to have a shot at the lighthouse.
Letters of interest should include the following:
- Name of property
- Name of eligible entity
- Point of contact, title, address, phone and email
- Non-profit agencies must provide a copy of their state-certified articles of incorporation or evidence
that an application has been filed
