As a village resident very close to that area I'm not at all sure we need another 800 homes in that area. I think a fair amount of people would prefer closer shopping then having to go all the way to 441. We don't need any more banks (not even sure that's possible there are so many right now ), drug stores or nail salons but we could use something like Costco (would be nice) along with a few other stores like a Phy Therapy, Walmart or Home Depot perhaps. Not real sure of the traffic implications but It clearly would help the traffic going north to get to shopping on 441, especially Norris at 466 into the villages which gets worst each year as the population south of 466a continues to grow. And hopefully the villages would make it commercial not random contractors or God help us Wildwood that cant even finish 466a after 1 1/2 years. BTW 466a might be open but it has a way to go to be finished - take a look its unbelievable!
