We need your help! The Atlantic Highlands Arts Council (AHAC) has a rare and unique opportunity. Takanassee Beach Developers needs to relocate the historic 1878 Boat House currently located at Takanassee Beach in Long Branch.  And we want to give it a  new and beautiful home right here in Atlantic Highlands!  The AHAC would turn it into a valuable community resource - an art center and small museum. The proposed site is next to the Skate Park in the Marina on First Avenue.  


The AHAC will be meeting with a Harbor Subcommittee to discuss lease details.  We need to show that there is strong community support behind this project.  That's where you can help. Please let the town know you support this project by signing this petition. Also, please forward it to as many Atlantic Highlands residents as you can. Thank you for helping us bring this historic building to town.

Updates

October 19, 2011

The Harbor Subcommittee has confirmed our meeting to discuss lease logistics for the site near the Marina. I am currently preparing the technical proposal to demonstrate how the Boat House fits into the existing space on First Avenue.

The project has reached a critical level of visible support that establishes a clear mandate for our upcoming discussions. I am currently preparing the formal briefing packet for the Harbor Subcommittee meeting to ensure these signatures are presented as a collective community directive.

This would be an awesome spot for an art center. Way better than just letting it sit empty or get torn down.

The boat house is beautiful. It would be a crime to lose that history. Hope the harbor board sees the value in this.

Keeping history alive is always a good idea. My kids would love to have a museum right by the skate park.

It looks like a cool old building. Why waste it? Save it and bring it over here.
