Yes, something like that could work.

The debate on our side is going to be: Do we run it as just a volunteer managed resource for the neighborhood association - a place for the association to hold monthly meetings and occasional events? It would be handy but would be a cash drain - not too much on a day to day basis, but when it needs a new roof or other larger expenditure, that’ll be a problem.

Or, do we run it - or have others run it for compensation - as a commercial for-rent venue, that the neighborhood association could also use (when not rented by paying customers)? It would then generate income, almost certainly enough to eliminate any cash drain and build reserves for future larger expenditures (or future pandemics), maybe some more to fund other neighborhood projects.

The non profit that currently owns it chose the second route. It worked okay for them for many decades, until Covid hit.
