Definition of Zuwendung:
http://dict.leo.org/ende/index_de.html#/search=zuwendung&sea...
The relevant translations are in the lower part of the page: allocation [finan.]
This is about more than 'attention' (the first definition on the page). It is about investment on a large scale by people who are willing to take risks, i.e. venture capital

tremendous attention from speculators
Perhaps, this might work... The German sounds weird. Is this an old book?
"This land needs nothing so much as tremendous attention from speculators and people eager to work.."

It doesn’t matter whether the adjective qualifies Zuwendung or Spekulation. This is not a Latin translation where teachers get upset if you don’t precisely emulate the grammatical structure of the original. I would argue that I have not altered the essential message

'Mighty speculators'
is another term that would fit the 1860s really well..
