Default Planned Development across from Pinellas

The unnamed on-line news has news regarding 400 bungalows for 55 & over with two car garages $3,000-4,600 a month on 3 year leases. The pet friendly community will have a community center, pool and fitness center. An Apartment building (perhaps six stories tall), assisted living center and commercial space are also included in this planned development by WholeLife Development. This still must be approved by the Wildwood Council.

Next to this Development is the proposed Trailwinds Development with 572,750 sq.ft. Retail space, 296 homes, and 151,500 sq.ft. Of office space that has yet to break ground for some time. Trailwinds butts up to Sandhill executive course and to houses already built by The Villages developer.

The Villages Developer attempted to purchase and build on these properties but their proposal was turned down by the Wildwood Council.

Well, what do you think? Is all this "good or ugly" as grandpa use to say---for all of us village residents. Do you know or do you care? Does the Wildwood City Council know what they are doing or is this going to be a "bust"?
