I don't think Wildwood has quite gotten over that are no sidewalks going to the county offices. It gave them a taste of what being part of the TV community means and the taste wasn't all that pleasant.

TV may be able to ultimately build there but I do think there will have to be some serious concessions and I wouldn't be at al surprised if that means golf cart access for Wildwood residents (think sidewalks to the county offices from the city center, ditto to the new development). The trees are pretty much a non- issue IMO.

I disagree. The Villages went to great measures with the gate in the historic section NOT to let that happen.

Plus it is Wildwood's loss, not The Villages if they don't allow the new areas. Sidewalks, HA. We don't have them here and we do fine. They would quibble over sidewalks and give up all that tax money that wouldn't have to be used to build schools? Watch some fancy municipal buildings spring up and more people on the Wildwood payroll. It would be shooting themselves in the foot to disallow it.

Just wait and see Red. Wait and see.
