Robert Johnson birthplace

Does anyone else wonder why the Robert Johnson birthplace home in Hazlelhurst, Mississippi has not been restored yet?  At an estimated $300k to restore it's such a shame that a talented blues musician who influenced so many such as Page, the Stones, Clapton and so many others  is so overlooked.  This site, if renovated, would bring so much history to the roots of all genres of music from the 20s on.   I'm guessing the state, county are not willing to the yearly upkeep once, if at all, complete.   But with good advertisements, low admissions, Johnson lives even though his roots, legacy is slowly being forgotten!  Anyone agree?
