This will eventually sell as a residential space. The whole art thing does not have nearly enough support from the public.
And it's a real shame. A visual arts center/museum would be a great asset to the region and if done right, further Johnson City's status as the region's cultural center. Things are changing in this town but it's still hard to convince some people of the possibilities.

But you can't force-feed interest in things that you are interested about. Nor should a government entity subsidize something that doesn't have enough interest to make it on its own.

There are certain things a government must subsidize. Schools, parks, libraries, roads, courts, prisons, etc - many projects could provide a net overall benefit to residents while not being privately profitable.

However, I don't think the subject of this thread meets this criteria.
