Why was The Ranch Plan created?
Back in 1991, with an eye toward the future, family leaders Richard J. O’Neill, his sister, Alice O’Neill (Moiso) Avery, and her son, Anthony R. “Tony” Moiso, embarked on a long-term, environmentally driven land management planning process that sought to balance inevitable growth in Orange County with permanent ranch land preservation. The wisdom behind the timing was to put a plan in place while the ownership of the Ranch remained in the hands of the senior members of the Ranch family.
