The project was initiated by Latvijas Valsts radio un televizijas centrs (Latvia State Radio and Television Center), which intends to turn the television tower and the adjacent area into a modern component of the city's environment, which would attract both tourists and local residents.

 

The project stipulates reconstruction of the television tower and the building complex next to it – there will be a new observation platform, a restaurant, and a model of Latvia on a scale of 1:4,000. The television tower's three pillars will hold three floors of exhibition halls. There will be parking lots, pedestrian tunnels, and other upgrades.

 

The cost of the project will be covered by the State Radio and Television Center.
