Excerpt: "Soon enough, though, a woman who used to work in Greenville’s town office said she had the answer and posted it on Facebook: The new owner of the mountain was Mark Zuckerberg.
The billionaire founder of Facebook had spent time in the Maine woods before. In 2017, for their fifth wedding anniversary, Mr. Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, had traveled not to Aspen or Cabo, but to #BangorME and #MillinocketME, where they hiked on the Appalachian Trail and met with workers who had lost their jobs when local paper mills shut down."
