Chancellorsville land sale status

A friend of this blog wrote to Civil War Preservation Trust to clarify the status of the 140 acre Tricord land sale. The response was quick and clear:
CWPT closed on the property in December 2004, and it is now owned by the organization. That same month, we began a fundraising campaign to pay our share of the $3 million purchase price. Since CWPT needed to pay for the property before the fundraising campaign had a fair chance to get going, we secured a short-term loan to pay our share of the $3 million purchase price. I am happy to say we are ahead of schedule to pay off that loan by the target date of September 2005.
Excellent. The news is now on this website: why not post this on the CWPT website as well?
