Agreed, that is the only way.
But it's the chicken and the egg - who will want to invest in a run down area with a short season with declining crowds? But without investment why would people come?
Is their a tourism board? If not someone needs to be put in charge with the goal of breathing some new life into the area. Cities do try and attract tourism and events, but as with anything else it will take spending some money to make money. I bet the enthusiasm for doing that isn't huge....
