Hi simpkinp: There was a referendum in Florida in 2012 drafted to create smart growth. The developers and real estate lobbyist, well threw water on it to burn it out. If passed residents would have had a say in growth.
You ask the same question many of us have asked since moving here. By the way I do not believe every county in Florida has a three tier pricing system but this development has a lot of pull with our water district. In fact an ex-president of the VHA is/ or was on the board and of course there is Sumter One under the developers tutelage
