re: Mormons Taking Over Central Florida

Mormons have owned lots of acreage for years, they do it for the capital gains and have for nearly a century.

From way back..

In Florida, the church owns what Orlando broker Trevor Hall says "may be the state's largest piece of privately owned undeveloped real estate."

The 315,000-acre Deseret Ranches, bought in the 1950s, is home to orange groves and cattle. But its location, about five miles southeast of booming Orlando, has caused its value to jump. The church is planning to build a community with 5,000 homes and 4,200 apartments, plus schools, offices and stores.

They also rent farms to non-mormons so I think the earlier story about firing the non-LDS cowboys was BS.

They may try and spread the gospel, but I doubt they are firing the non Mormons. Their holdings are very vast and the linked article is 24 years old.
