I think the religious farming community is the way to go. It would take some people with some capital to get it going. Here is an example of what one can build out of sagebrush and water. I have worked in these packing sheds when I worked in the fruit industry, they are about three hours from where I live.

These guys employ 900 people full time between three orchards.

They have there own schools.
Developing more full-time jobs was not the whole solution. Many low-income families have inadequate housing, childcare, and education. To address this situation, the Broetjes invested about $5 million and built 121 single-family homes and apartment units to rent at low cost to year-round employees. Residents named the community "Vista Hermosa" -- which means Beautiful View. They also built New Horizons Preschool on site for 60 children.
I think they have a pool and sports fields as well.
Looking over this site reminds me of why I think all Xians need a bullet. Have a look yourself, makes one sick to their stomach.

Point is it can be done.
