On April 11, 2006, the International Paper Company, signed an agreement to sell all its land in the Adirondack Park to Lyme Timber Company for $137 million dollars. On June 21, 2021 the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors announced that the tower would soon be reopened to the public. Cedar Heights Timber, LLC has agreed with the county to enter into a 10 year agreement to open the fire tower to the public.[2][3]
