Over the last decade, however, the city has developed and is implementing a new plan for the fort area. A new city park to be called Fort Taber Park has begun to emerge. Because of the extensive damage, the granite fort still remains closed to the public. But plans are being developed for restoration of Fort Taber. Exterior lighting has been added and measures are being taken to secure the fort and protect it from vandalism.
Plans are also in place for the repair of the roof to prevent additional water damage.
As interest in the preservation of Fort Taber grows, the Fort Taber Historical Association is committed to building awareness of the fort, its surroundings and the historical value they hold.
