SUPERSTITION VISTAS: The Saints Vision For A New Zion-in-The-Desert Expand

Another controversial Land-Deal - it's a 270-square mile parcel bigger than the four towns of Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe and most of Chandler combined, just east of the Maricopa County line. . . Here's the incredulous narrative-spin concocted by Jordan Rose who wants readers of the The Law Group Reporter to believe-in.

BLOGGER NOTE: Hang on to four towns ( it comes up in a story farther down)

She appends it to an seemingly innocuous account of a recent Arizona State Land Auction

"This is a tremendous accomplishment for the State Land Department and a great victory of education in Arizona. To have such a robust auction with multiple legitimate potential developers means this State Land Department made a great decision to go to auction”

Jordan Rose, Rose Law Group Founder and President

WHAT? Exactly what is legitimate in how she frames that narrative?

It's an ENTIRE CLOUD to hide what the real story on-the-ground here in Arizona is - a smokescreen

Let's take a time-out on that and look at the real nitty-gritty and the use of that frequently-used word "Vistas". In Arizona that word and "Superstition Vistas" was the vision of Roc Arnett.

In Vermont - the birthplace of Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith - it was a non-profit named The New Vistas Foundation that first made waves in 2016 when Utah millionaire bought up 900 acres. Those 900 acres were part of a larger plan to collect 5,000 acres across the four towns of Royalton, Sharon, Strafford, and Tunbridge, and carve out a walkable, mixed-use urban development for 15,000 to 20,000 people.
Hall claimed that the project isn’t religious...and that the LDS isn’t involved in any way...Hall had already dropped $100 million on kickstarting a chain of global NewVistas, and a prototype community in Provo, Utah, close to Brigham Young University, was still on track.

FLORENCE — A state land auction near some of the most lucrative residential real estate in the region opened Wednesday with lowest possible legal price and only four bidders.

When the gavel came down a little more than an hour later, two homebuilders had pushed the purchase price of the southeast Valley land to more than three times the appraised value of $68 million.

Texas-based D.R. Horton cast the winning bid of $245.5 million for the tract known as the Superstition Vistas
