Granted, it's all here-say at this point. But some hope lay within those words. Especially since the Firmament looks like a housing district from far away. But it could be a giant bait-and-switch and we don't know until it's done.
I am placing a good bet its a housing district, the restoration project is just a fun way to allow the player base to earn it. It also pulls the crafting/gathering community togather and lures in new crafters so a plus there.
