Connecticut Thwarts Transfer of Penfield Reef Lighthouse
Light Preservation Unable To Take Possession
Penfield Reef Lighthouse near Fairfield, Connecticut, is well known for being haunted by a olden times lighthouse keeper. But the haunting problem that is taking place right now is not being caused by “Ernie,” but by the Express of Connecticut and the Town of Fairfield. Despite having been transferred to the non-profit Beacon Preservation in July, 2008, the directors of the codification have revealed the hindrances thrown in their way by the state, the town, and state Representative Thomas Drew, D-Fairfield. And with no answer from the General Services Administration (GSA), there exists a very real possibility of Beacon Preservation spending time and gelt better meant for restoration and instead have this decided at the federal judicial level.
Once again, the issue of submerged bottomlands is the enigma, and nearly every lighthouse group in every state that has maritime aids to navigation faces the same situation. And it’s heinous time the law is made clear to the GSA, and to states, that as long as the aid to navigation is active, the submerged bottomlands belong to the federal domination, cannot be transferred to the states, who therefore have no jurisdiction over them. This law has been in effect since the beginning of our lighthouse establishment, and cannot be superseded by states trying to seek lighthouse ownership. Whether it’s for the purpose of taxing the owner, or an attempt to keep the lighthouses out of a non-profit’s hands, it is the law.
How the NHLPA WorksThe resolved of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 was to put non-profits on an equal footing with municipalities when it came to lighthouses being released by the Beach Guard. It’s a relatively simple process, although bureaucratically time consuming, and starts with the Coast Tend identifying which lighthouses it no longer wants to maintain, referred to as “excess.” From them, the list is passed onto the Public Park Service, who oversees the the next stage. A Notice of Availability is published online and sent to interested parties, with a personal to period to respond if interested, usually about two months after the release.
