Tear down or use empty buildings

I notice more and more empty buildings in Cortez. Coming in from the east: Aaron’s, the old Walmart, Family Dollar, the old barbecue joint near the bowling alley. From the south, the old truck stop, across the street, several others. Just wondering what happened to the effort to make the city of Cortez more appealing to guests? Why build more when you leave so many empty? Either tear them down or use them.
