When the buffalo are moved to a safer location, that will leave some pretty significant and well-located chunks of property available for "something". No mention was was made of that. But Mark Morse did present some pretty amazing statistics that he seemed quite proud of--I read that as something that's unlikely to change. He stated in his presentation that fully 45% of the total 20,000+ acres in The Villages has been devoted to open space, wildlife refuges, wetlands, etc. In fact, he specifically noted that a wetland-wildlife area planned near the new Brownwood town center was going to be "spectacular".
