While our current involvement in restoration projects is limited, we are prioritizing the restoration of the [[HECP Restoration|Harbor Entrance Control Post]] (HECP) at Fort Stark, a substantial endeavor demanding considerable time and resources. As these structures continue to age, it's essential to undertake restoration efforts to preserve and interpret their historical significance. Presently, there are no restored Endicott or World War II gun batteries in New England. However, initiatives such as the cleanup of batteries at Fort Adams and the proposed renovation of Battery 201 in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, underscore the growing interest in preserving our military heritage.</del></div></td><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-added"></td></tr>
