A lot of industrial plants ended up as abandoned ruins because of a company's demise. Interestingly enough, in this case, Canada Malting still exists.

@bowen I assume they had no qualms with restoring the sign? It seems like great exposure for them.

The may look at it as publicly paid for free advertising, for good or bad.
 
Does anyone recall the name of the Swedish cultural organization that the city is working with? Thanks!

Government of Ireland commits $2-million to Irish cultural centre on Toronto waterfront

Renovation of historic Canada Malting Company silos, already under way and set to open in 2025, is part of country’s plan to boost global footprint
www.theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com

For those that can't access this it just announces that the Irish government has given $2m to the Corleck Centre to the west of the Silos. I can't wait to take courses on Georgian Dublin and Modernist Buildings in Irish Cities after the War. And as descendent of North Irish immigrants at the turn of the last century I hope (and may fundraise) for a small selection on the architecture of Northern Ireland, especially Belfast which has one of the world's largest collection of intact Georgian structures in the world!

I lived in Belfast until I was 28 and visit from time to time, though the City certainly has some great examples of architecture and some is certainly Georgian, I have never heard or thought of the City as having a large collection of it - and I was a founding member of the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society ( https://www.ulsterarchitecturalheritage.org.uk/ ) . Dublin has, or had before the huge development surge of the late 20th century, LOTS of Georgian houses, rows, squares and public buildings.
