Sir Mark, Looks like the "tmo" may have hired a consultant to lobby the City Counsil with regards to the re-zoning issues. It appears the City wants to re-zone as agricultural land. And, the "tmo" which failed to develop the 300 acres with a "whirled peas palace", and tehy await a buyer. Doesn't look the parcel will sell anytime soon due primarily to the re-zoning issues, as there isn't a master plan in place now. See related articles.. THE COLONY The Maharishi Global Development Fund is asking the city to delay rezoning about 300 acres that the fund owns along State Highway 121 so the company can find a buyer. The city will consider the requested six-month delay next month but is eager to see the land developed. Officials want to change the zoning back to its original agricultural designation because no development has occurred there for several years. It's part of the city's plan to turn the stretch of Highway 121 into an entertainment and recreation district by attracting development. The city has adopted a master plan to realize that vision, and one of the first steps is to rezone the land accordingly. http://tinyurl.com/eugpa Steve Brown: Trump buzz probably all talk He brought big rumors and earned big bucks in Dallas appearance 08:09 AM CST on Friday, March 3, 2006 .."And don't forget the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's plan to build a 300- acre heaven on earth in The Colony..." http://tinyurl.com/jct2y To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
