Such huge device requires multiple calibrations for accuracy and will probably be ready after some time. This is no surprising for world's largest telescope, and in the meantime astronomers can be trained to handle it once it is ready. After all, even if there is qualified and available scientist today, he or she won't be able to start work, until the telescope is fully calibrated to specifications. Hence, there is no real need to hire a qualified scientist immediately. As for our "ghost towns" they are slowly being filled as China's rural population continues to filter in sporadically. There are still many poor people in countryside, and time is needed to get them to adapt to life in the cities. For example, Zhengzhou 郑州 was "ghost city" in 2010, but it is slowly being filled by rural Chinese finding work in the cities.

You need to look further into 2020s, 2030s, 2050s to really see the benefits.
