How about the many posts complaining about the lack of a sufficient number of neighborhood pools in the north part of the villages? Or the complaints of the congestion around the Colony area, the lack of grocery stores at 466A, and now the angst regarding the Fruitland expansion. I moved here knowing all those issues(much research), because I was interested in other activities and I stayed north of 466 where it "feels" less crowded. But I sympathize with those that are concerned with the continuing expansion without obvious infrastructure increases.
If someone else builds there, they won't be using the villages amenities...that's reason enough for me!

I think Gracie's comments are if the area is developed by The Villages, we will know what we will be getting. If the land is developed by someone else, who knows. It could be an apartment complex or maybe single family housing, who knows. Either way, if the development is residential where do you think they are going to go for shopping, dining, doctors etc? The same places us Villagers go. There will continue to be the crowding at the Brownwood and the Colony Plaza.
I'd rather have The Villages develop the area... At least this way there can be plans included to help alleviate the overcrowding as part of the master plan.
