From the Feb. 21, 2013, Gulf County (Fla) Star "City taps Preble Rish to manage lighthouse move" by Tim Croft.
Port St. Joe approved Preble Rish Engineers as project manager to move the Cape San Blas Lighthouse into the city at a planned bayfront park.
The physical move of the lighthouse still requires funding and bidding for services.
The final federal work conveying the lighthouse to the city should be in any day. Once it is received, a six-month plan is in place. Right now, one of the best options is to move the structures by barge which would save big money by reducing the distance to be moved and possibility of damage to the structure.
There is also the suggestion to move it by helicopter.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
