A windfall for Kaplan, but also good for meditators who owned homes next to Purusha, as their home values will go up -- they can sell easily, and I bet most will head to Vedic City/FF:
http://tinyurl.com/q76pg "David Kaplan, the developer of Heavenly Mountain, owned the property then. When he started Heavenly Mountain in 1993, he became the largest private landowner in Watauga County, with more than 7,000 acres. On 500 acres, he built the nonprofit Maharishi Spiritual Center of America, with separate campuses for men and women who practiced Transcendental Meditation. Heavenly Mountain also included a for- profit section of about 1,000 acres that could be developed for lots and homes in the future. But in 2004, Kaplan announced that he had severed ties with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a former Hindu monk who drew from ancient Eastern techniques of meditation when he began the TM movement in 1958. In announcing his break with TM, Kaplan said he would pursue commercial development of his property. In January 2005, the Watauga County Planning Board approved Kaplan's development plans for a large section of pro-perty. Three months later, he sold the land, nearly 5,000 acres, to Ginn LA Laurel Creek Ltd. for nearly $44 million." ------------------------ Yahoo!
