Can one investor change a whole town?

My family home is in a rural southern town that is depressed but sleepy - not too many crime or drug issues.

My “vision board” plan is to renovate my family home and other homes in the area to raise property values, attract tenants, and develop commercial opportunities.

Question: Can one investor affect that much change through responsible scaling? There’s just so much opportunity!
