Several Agencies control the waterway and land that the Lighthouse Club plans to build Lighthouses, so it requires continued multi-agency negotiations for approval before Lighthouse placement. This is very time consumming but necessary.
West Quoddy, the Lighthouse Clubs first replica gets AZ State Parks OK as a Navigational Light. It was dedicated on June 15, 2002
In 2005 The Mohave County Board of Supervisors approved sponsorship and provided funding for a lighthouse of our choice. So more Government Agencies are beginning to recognize the value of our lighthouses.
After the West Quoddy and Cape Hatteras Lighthouses were erected, AZ State Parks decided that we would have to formalize our Club by providing insurance etc. before we could continue to build on State Land and areas under their control. This took a couple of years, but in October 2005 we finally got their approval. In the meantime we were building Lighthouses on BLM and City Land, so it didn't totally hold us up.
When we became formalized and recognized by AZ State Parks it also provided the criteria that the Indian Reservation Officals were looking for, so we also have approval to begin constructing lighthouses on Indian Reservation Land.
U.S Coast Guard OK's building of lighthouses, but with Supervison of AZ State Parks, September 2000
The Lighthouse Club is working with the City in attempt to obtain an exisiting facility for use as a Lighthouse Museum. If we can make this a reality the U.S. Coast Guard and C.G. Auxilary have promised quite a bit of material for the museum.
Businesses and other private parties are showing interest in sponsoring some of our Lighthouse Replicas as memorials.
The Club is blessed with media coverage via TV & News Paper, Magazines and through linking of our web site.
As the Club continues to build these Aids To Navigation one would expect it to become attraction similar to the London Bridge itself.
