In October 2010, the Town of Waterloo received a $1.8 million grant from the federal government to build a longer platform just east of the current station, bringing it up to ADA standards, and add a canopy, lighting, and interactive signage.

[12] Ultimately, the platform was not built, but the grant was used to install the lighting and electronic signage, as well as a parking lot, in 2016.

The previous rail depot, which was restored in 2010, was moved closer to the existing platform and reopened to Amtrak passengers.

WINT-TV, Channel 15, which became WANE-TV, Fort Wayne, in 1956, began broadcasting from studios in Waterloo in 1954.
