Its not the run down colonial theater type places but the education institutes, the start ups and the good paying tech jobs. Those came first, now they are trying to build it into a neighborhood and adding fire stations, libraries etc. Create or invite good industry and there's actual incentive to move and establish a home there. I lived in the Lakes Region on the lake year round in my 20s when I was transferred to Laconia for work, constantly said to my self what am I doing here there is nothing here except old retired people, the lake and work? When searching for a new job there was barely any companies even worth looking at and that was very evident in how my employer treated their employees because guess what, they had nowhere else to go. Making somewhere a destination is exactly that, a place people visit and leave, not stay.

I never said put money into the colonial. Read my first post. You need to invest in several businesses and attractions not sunk all the funding into one theatre which will then bring in the working class instead of section 8 types.
