" Beaudin said Friday that the million-dollar community center has been under-used in its 10-year history and that a dedicated events promoter could boost its use and help the town’s bottom line. "
" While the town budget doesn’t separate individual building expenses, Johnsburg officials have estimated that $54,000 was spent in 2011 on maintaining the building, while it only generated about $6,000 in revenue. "
