Immediately after the event, the
governor of the
Tver Oblast,
Igor Rudenya announced that terminal's building will be restored in its historical form. However, no firm dates were announced with the regard to that statement. On August 28, 2017, one of the regional media outlets has reported that local authorities knew that building was about to collapse for at least few months, as they've ordered an inspection on building's constructions, but ultimately decided to hold off with emergency repairs because of their cost. By November 2017 most of the rubble from the collapse was cleared, and any unstable leftovers were forced down. The building itself was covered with decorative banner and fenced off from the pier and pedestrian walkways in order to protect the people from any random falling debris. In April 2018 Aleksandra Smirnova, deputy head of Tver's regional chapter of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Monuments of History and Culture has stated in the interview that budget of the
Tver Oblast for 2018 has no money allocated for the emergency repairs or the reconstruction of the terminal. On June 19, 2019, the chairman of Tver Duma (lower house of the regional parliament) Evgeny Pichuyev, answering the question about river terminal's fate, has stated that city has no funds for the restoration, and that it's necessary to find an investor who will be interested in funding the repairs. On July 22, 2019, local authorities have announced that a complex engineering study will be undertaken in order to develop suggestions and instructions on the restoration procedure. However, it was also stated that no hard decision on the building's fate will be made until the study is complete: should the engineers decide that there's an irreparable damage, the building most likely will be demolished rather than restored. In accordance with the contract for the study, its results should be delivered to the authorities no later than December 20, 2019. As of December 26, 2019, those were not made publicly available. On December 11, 2019, the
governor of the
Tver Oblast,
Igor Rudenya stated in the interview that it is planned to construct a brand-new building for the river terminal instead of restoring a historical one, employing "new technologies". Rudenya announced that 800 million rubles are already secured to fund the construction. In the same interview he also stated that there are plans to partially restore an building complex along with the terminal's construction (it is widely believed that the former was occupying the same spot as the river terminal, just before it got demolished in the early 1930s). Governor has failed to mention how local authorities will go around the federal law which strictly prohibits to demolish any buildings which were declared as objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation.
