Purchase of lands

Noor Naghmi, son of Pakistani broadcaster Abul Hasan Naghmi, brought the American Lahore to the news in 2007. The junior Naghmi is a financial services professional in Vienna, Virginia. After a years-long negotiation with farmer Nancy Wallace, who owned 235 acre of American Lahore (including the center of the town), Naghmi was able to strike a deal for 3 million dollars. Naghmi told the Washington Post in 2007 that his 3 million dollar deal will turn Lahore, Virginia into a regional tourist attraction for South Asians and others. As of 2021 the property has not been sold to Noor or anyone else. The owner has died and the estate has not yet been settled.
