Gray,

I did notice that....probably part of their southward migration for building and selling; also, since they own the shopping center, better than having an empty storefront. There are still a lot of building lots North of 466A; it's sure going to be awhile before development crosses over 466A and touches Brownwood.

In some ways, I'm glad to see the build-out will take longer. As long as the developer is building/selling, the status quo on amenities, facilities, and conditions should be maintained. If we are at about 70K people now and buildout is 110K people, we are only about 2/3 complete. Still a long way to go. I've gotta believe that the developer's analysts have a pulse on all the major markets that feed into TV and have formulated a building plan that keeps them in step with anticipated demand.

Someday, there may well be a sales center and trolley rides at Brownwood and those of us now close to 466A will feel like the seasoned veterans. I imagine our friends around Spanish Springs and on the historic side are bemused at us newbies as we see progress growing south of us.

By the way, I also noticed cattle grazing in the field across 466A from Turtle Mound Golf Course. Perhaps a way to use the land to financial benefit until building commences.
