The historic Toledo Harbor Light is being restored by a nonprofit group led by Frank and Sandy Bihn, called the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse Preservation Society. Windows and shutters are being installed on the first and second floors. Brick work is being done. The first phase of the restoration will cost $638,000. A grant of $500,000 from Lucas County and the Ohio Department of Transportation, along with $20,000 from Cleveland Cliffs, is funding that work. Total restoration cost is estimated at $2.5 million. When the restoration is complete, there will be four to five people living inside the lighthouse from spring through fall to provide tours and maintain the historic structure.
