The only real reason why Beacon fell in the first place was because of the Dragon. It destroyed the tower and promptly got frozen on top of the ruins, acting as a literal beacon for grimm which halts any attempts at rebuilding. Had the dragon not come into play, and they staved Cinder's forces off, Beacon could've been operational in a couple months.
