I agree that it is her money to do what she wants to with it. More power to her. This may be the most sensible thing to do, if it a unique location. Who knows? I don’t know if she is spreading wealth though. Consuming wealth, in my opinion. I won’t criticize her for it.
I think the Contracter, his sub-contractors, the labor, the suppliers, and the equipment manufacturers are recipients of some of her wealth, and that it wasn’t magically consumed.
