I believe it would be a good idea to clean the land up. But, having the government be the one to apply and put its resources that costs money and time, effort that takes away from their other duties that are more pressing for many more members of the community as a whole, they should focus on that first.

If the House of Providence people want to pay all the costs for the time, effort, etc. and promise to sell the properties and not develop them into any institutional or other means to keep them on the tax roll as they were intended to be – agricultural, that would be a solution to all concerned.
