Work commenced on Monday July 27 and is expected to wrap up in September." The tower "was purchased by the Town of Barry's Bay once it was no longer in use by CN in the 1970s, and underwent significant rehabilitation in the 1980s"; in 2023 the Township contracted a structural assessment finding that the timber support structure needed replacement, in 2024 it completed a cultural heritage assessment report, and last year it had engineered drawings completed.
