BILOXI, Miss. (July 1, 2009)--Work is underway on the Biloxi Lighthouse, four years after the Gulf Coast landmark was damaged during Hurricane Katrina.
Officials say workers will remove the decorative fence around the base, then start inside, replacing missing bricks and repairing the mortar.
On July 23, the lighthouse will be the host site of a ceremony to unveil the Lighthouses of the Gulf Coast postage stamps depicting lighthouses from all five Gulf states.
The Biloxi Lighthouse was built in 1848 and stands 64-feet tall.
The repairs are funded mostly by FEMA.
