Wouldn't breaking the news before the deal is sealed cause the price to blow up?

It'd attract all sorts of billionaires to bid on it and make it unaffordable for the public.

(The story seems to be old though, so hopefully it did end up being sold to the public.)

Hopefully a non-profit that supports a group of monks would be motivated by more than just the bid with the highest amount of money, especially since they seem to have always allowed public access to the waterfall.

“The foundation put the property up for open auction in early February, meaning there was no minimum or maximum bid, she said. It accepted the offer the state made under the bill that passed.”
