If you're thinking "If we build it, they will come." You're living in a Field of Dreams.

Without tax incentives (negative for the town), no one is going to bother.

I certainly can not speak for the area, but from what I hear it's pretty desolate. No one is going to build without an existing customer base, and you're not going to get an existing customer base without jobs.

Even if you build a large mall with restaurants and stores and maybe even some town homes or condos - the main draw is going to be more tourist in nature, and businesses need regular customers for sustainability - not ones who show up every two months because "they haven't been there in a while."
