The issue now, is, let the property continue to deteriorate, or rejuvenate it and minimize the possibly, past mistake in buying the property.

Why shouldn't that be the question? If it is decided that the property/facility is NOT needed, sell it. Frankly, I'm not weighing in on one side or another (yet). However, too many towns charge ahead with projects that a group of people are all excited about. 5 to 10 years later it's proven a complete waste. Here's a case where things have been tried out for a while. Is it working? Were the original projected expenses/income correct? Is it being used as expected? Evaluate and dump it if not up to expectations. If it is, fix it up and move forward.
