June 23, 2010 — -- Val Kilmer's ranch will soon be open for business.

At a hearing today, commissioners in New Mexico's San Miguel County agreed to let the actor turn his 5,970-acre Pecos River Ranch into a bed-and-breakfast after he apologized to his neighbors for trash talking the state.

Kilmer said he understood people getting upset "when you hear negative things about a place you love."

Earlier this week, northern New Mexicans told Wall Street Journal they wanted an apology from aging action hero for disparaging comments he made about the state and veterans in a 2003 interview with Rolling Stone and a 2005 interview with Esquire.
