After months of advocacy, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced at the Stewart House in Athens, NY, that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has selected the historic Hudson-Athens Lighthouse for their protection program and identified the Lighthouse as a priority for the Corps opening the desperately needed federal funding to help restore this beloved site.Â
Now thanks to Schumer’s efforts, the Army Corps will begin work with Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society to fund the engineering and construction work needed to save the lighthouse and stabilize the structure.
