Our college has a "maker space" and it's been a tremendous success, to the point that engineering "recruits" cite it as a reason for choosing the school. Obviously this was school-funded, but my point is that the administration saw a direct value add from it, and continues to pour funding into the program. You may be able to pull data about municipal maker spaces in other cities, and use it to convince your own city to fund a project to build one.

What school was that?
Yale. So take the funding issue with a grain of salt..
