Harold, you might be interested in a model used by a museum in my area, MassMoCA. There were a group of struggling artists that wanted a place where they could show their art. They worked with the community and local businesses to bring both together. They help local artists by leasing studio space and showing their art. They also act as an incubator to small businesses by providing space and joint advertising, offering training and other support services. Although yours does not appear to be offering the arts, the model might work.
