Well, nothing like a bit of grumpy 'realism', with no thought to the 'Pride of Place' potential that Jason identified, to squash interest and action ...

I agree that the site, as it currently stands, is not the best to maximize the opportunity that the lighthouse provides, but that fact doesn't deter the potential itself.

What this 'project' needs is a 'local champion' who 'gets it'. I mean, really 'gets it'. The lighthouse needs those who can tap this potential in a 'clever and dynamic' way, as you say. That's why an adaptive re-use, that provides more than a 'tower tour', is essential. Jason has some good ideas, as do others on this thread. More credit to them.

By the way, the lakefront is NOT mediocre, (except insofar that industrialization have made it so without THOUGHT of 'Pride of Place'), and there are plenty of people who do live 'down here', let alone those who come solely to 'play' here. The lakefront is not a 'backwater'. It is, in fact, the water FRONT.
