But a bit of a backstory. In the course of a conversation with a manager in the construction division, he noted that the new area, technically a wetland, has been under development for almost five years. During that time The Villages has planted over one million trees and countless other plant material. He was quite proud of the vast array of animals that now habitate the area. During the discussion he commented that the total cost of the area now exceeds $20 million!
Quite a nice gift to al of us, don't you think?

The usual characters will soon enough find fault with this project........
