reinaugurate

Install anew officially

To reinaugurate is to inaugurate again—to formally install someone in office for a second time or to ceremonially relaunch something that had been inaugurated before.

The word appears most often around presidential second terms: The president was reinaugurated in January.

It can also apply to reopening buildings, programs, or institutions after renovation or hiatus.
