Enkosi kupapasho lwe-Oregonlive, sifunde ukuba iApple ithenge umhlaba omalunga neehektare ezingama-200 (malunga ne-810 lamawaka eemitha zesikwere) e-Prineville (Oregon) kule veki. Umhlaba ulungile ecaleni kwawo ukusondelelene nezixhobo iApple esele zisebenza kuloo ndawo inye. Kuqikelelwa ukuba inkampani ibinokuhlawula isixa esikufutshane nezigidi ezi-3,6 zeedola Kwelo cebo litsha.
Nangona kunjalo, akukachazwa ukuba lo mhlaba uza kusetyenziselwa ntoni, nangona yonke into ibonisa ukuba izakusetyenziselwa ukwandisa isiseko sedatha esele sisebenza, nditsho kuba ngo-Epreli isicelo saziswa yiApple ukuba sandise iziko ledatha eOregon. Kweso sicelo, iApple yathi ifuna ukwakha "ukudityaniswa" ezimbini ngaphezulu hlala iifama zeseva yakho yeenkonzo ezisekwe lilifu. Le projekthi kulindeleke ukuba ixabise ngaphezulu kwe- $ 6 yezigidi.
U-Apple ulindele ukuncitshiswa kwetax kwindawo nganye yeshishini apho nandipha isityalo sakho esele sikhona xa uqhubeka nokwakha izibonelelo zakho ezongezwe koku. Inkampani yakhela kwisivumelwano seminyaka eli-15 esenziwe ngurhulumente ukukhuthaza ukuphuhliswa kweekota ezinamazinga aphezulu okungaqeshwa.
Oku kuncitshiswa kuya kusebenza kuyo nayiphi na inkampani Ngaphandle ko "multimillionaires" apho kusebenza irhafu ethile. Ukubuya, ukuze basebenzise ezinye izibonelelo, kufuneka bavume ukudala ubuncinci bemisebenzi ngomvuzo ophakathi ongaphezulu kwalowo usekwe kwingingqi.
Khumbula ukuba iapile ekuqaleni yathenga iihektare ezili-159 ePrineville ngo-2012 ukuqala ukwakha isiseko sedatha. Ngezi zityalo zitsha zongeziweyo, iApple ngoku ineehektare ezingama-359 zomhlaba esixekweni ukwenza imisebenzi esekwe kwilifu.
