If its not too rude to ask is this a TIGHAR purchase or a Family Purchase,

Neither.  A TIGHAR member has purchased the property and is leasing it to me and Pat.  TIGHAR sublet's from us just as it does now. After five years we buy the property at a pre-negotiated price.  The Mellon suit is not an issue.  The lower overhead resulting from not having to rent storage space and having room to grow the organization should enhance, not detract from, fundraising for TIGHAR projects.  This move is a win-win (but it's still expensive).

Thanks Ric! Hope the move goes well, where do I send my CV for a job? ;)

I trust that there won't be too many advserse tax consequences with the move, with Delaware being so business-friendly and Pennsylvania ... not so much.

In google maps it looks like beautiful country, but what is that A shaped marking in the ground behind the house?

Once Tighar raises the necessary funding to get there I guess we'll find out.

TIGHAR is a tax exempt 501c3 organization. The tax situation in PA will be no different than in DE except for sales tax.  Delaware has no sales tax.

It's a good example of how deceiving aerial photos can be.  The is no A-shaped feature. There is a big piece of a tree that was once there and some bare dirt where the stump was.

Money contributed toward the move will be used only to help pay for moving TIGHAR assets and no contributions earmarked for other purposes (Niku  VIII, Legal Defense, Devastator Project, etc.) will be used to pay for the move. Needless to say, Pat and I will bear the entire cost of moving our personal stuff.

What are the internal and International air links like if you plan to host conferences and the such like.  Also hotels etc.. 

Its not to rural for an international organisation?

That's the great thing about the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania. It's a beautiful rural setting but we'll only be about an hour from Philadephia Int'l Airport (PHL) and 40 minutes from the Wilmington AMTRAK station. There's a good hotel about 10 minutes away.
