This will help a lot in securing matching funding from the city/state towards any repairs they make to maintain the original structure/decor. It could, but if they take money from the government, then they fall under a lot of restrictions in how they alter the building that they would not want. They'd have to get approval to repair a window or any number of things that they have been doing for over 50 years.
