Opportunity Summary:
The Cape Blanco Lighthouse Restoration, Coos Bay District grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00064) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on preserving and managing the historic Cape Blanco Lighthouse in southern Oregon. The lighthouse sits about 60 miles north of the Oregon-California border and is noted as the southernmost lighthouse in Oregon. Public access for tours and interpretation has been in place since April 1994, when the U.S. Coast Guard issued an interagency permit to BLM, and the permit referenced in the notice was set to remain effective through January 31, 2019. The project is structured around cooperative management, bringing together multiple partners that include BLM, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, the Coquille Indian Tribe, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (including the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office), the Heritage Society, and Curry County.
The main purpose of the funding is to support cooperative preservation, protection, and long-term management at the lighthouse site. A key element is implementation of an established maintenance plan that was developed under the direction of the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office and an experienced lighthouse architect. The plan emphasizes both routine and deferred maintenance activities, with painting identified as a core need along with other repairs and upkeep tasks, all to be carried out in line with Oregon State Historic Preservation guidelines. The opportunity also signals that the scope may extend beyond basic preservation work if needed, specifically mentioning potential improvements to interpretive displays and the associated visitor center, which ties the restoration effort to public education and visitor experience as well as structural and exterior maintenance.
Administratively, this opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), reflecting its focus on historic and cultural resource stewardship. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 listed for the opportunity. The award amounts were presented with a ceiling of $69,338 and a floor of $1, and the notice stated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating that the intended applicant pool was primarily state-level entities positioned to carry out preservation work in coordination with BLM and the other listed partners.
The timeline in the announcement shows it was posted and created on March 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 28, 2014, and an archive date of March 27, 2015. For applicants needing the complete instructions and application package, the notice directed them to the application materials linked in the announcement and provided a point of contact at BLM: Sheri Dowley (503-808-6243, sdowley@blm.gov) for help accessing the full announcement electronically. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted support for an organized, partner-driven preservation program that keeps the Cape Blanco Lighthouse maintained according to professional historic preservation standards while also strengthening the site’s interpretive and visitor-facing components where necessary.
