European funding is to enable the refurbishment of the Tallinn TV tower into a key tourist attraction. Estonia will benefit from 5.5 million euros from the European Regional Development Fund to help restore the 314-metre tower. It is hoped that the project will be completed by the end of 2011, reports EER News. "Since its inception, Tallinn's TV tower has been a symbol of the capital," explained Riina Roosipuu, director of the tower's managing foundation. "From its beginnings the TV tower has been a loved attraction for foreign and domestic tourists." The tower was closed in 2007 following concerns about safety and a number of fire protection violations but is still regarded as a major symbol in Estonia's political history. In 1991, the tower was a key location in the country's fight for independence. The European Regional Development Fund has also helped a number of other key projects in Estonia including modernising and improving safety at Tartu airport and Kuressaare airport.   This news item is brought to you by KMS Baltics in conjunction with Fest-Forest and EST KINNISVARA.
