City to make its pitch for lighthouse designation

Port Washington officials will make their case for the city’s breakwater and lighthouse to be listed on the state and national Registers of Historic Places next month.

Tim Heggland, a preservation consultant hired by the city to shepherd the nomination through the process, will present the city’s application to the State Historic Preservation Review Board on Aug. 17.

“I think the chances are excellent (it will be accepted),” Heggland said, noting that nominations are thoroughly vetted before getting to this point.
