The Aquinnah select board is eyeing a January special town meeting in order to pay for cost overruns associated with the Gay Head Lighthouse renovation from earlier this spring.

Select board member and lighthouse keeper Chris Manning said the U.S. Coast Guard removed the newly installed LED beacon on Monday to correct its rotation and beam pattern at the agency's shop in Woods Hole.

Aquinnah officials and residents have started crafting a strategy to address mounting criticism of the new LED beacon installed in the Gay Head Lighthouse. 

Aquinnah residents aired grievances to the select board this week about the new LED beacon inside the recently-renovated Gay Head lighthouse. 

On Friday, the town gathered to reminisce on the move and celebrate the final step of the preservation project.

The U.S. Coast Guard installed a new LED beacon into the Gay Head Lighthouse in Aquinnah on Wednesday morning, the last major step in an eight-month long restoration project.
