Five Rivers MetroParks hopes the replacement beams for the tower will be put together later this fall, with a goal of reopening the structure by year’s end.
The tower has been closed since September, when regular maintenance on the structure uncovered decay that threatened its stability.
The tower opened in October 2012 and cost about $475,000 to build. MetroParks last month approved spending about $390,000 to repair the tower.
