Charlottesville Real Estate Firm Playing Monopoly on Wintergreen Mountain?
February 24, 2007 |
A reader of The Zebra directed my attention to an article in today’s Daily Progress about a lawsuit filed against Wintergreen Resort and local Charlottesville real estate firm, Roy Wheeler Co. The lawsuit apparently alleges that the recent partnership between the two constitutes a monopoly. This is quite a hefty allegation.
I suppose there are some who will view the claim as having some legitimacy, and there are those who will say it is just a bunch of sour grapes from a company that is struggling to compete. Without actually reading the complaint, it is tough to say which scenario is the more likely one. One thing that is apparent from the article, however, is that Mountain Area Realty is committed to pursuing the case as far as it will go. My favorite quote from the whole article is from Mountain Area’s attorney, C. Allen Foster. The article quotes him as saying,
“We’re going to duke it out,” he said. “They’re going to spend umpteen-jillion dollars. And I guess my client is going to spend umpteen-jillion dollars too.”
After all, isn’t that what it’s all about, anyway?
