Attached is a scan of the March 28, 2016 Daily Sun article.

It states:

• ... site work could start within the next couple of months
• (Amenities) include two 9-hole executive golf courses, a chip-and-putt area, recreation centers, courts, an outdoor fitness trail, a bike/walking nature corridor, a dog park and both active and passive green space.
• New homes are expected to be available beginning in the first quarter of 2017.

Also, as I posted earlier, the ordinance passed by the Wildwood City Commission shows that the development will include a "primary recreation center, two neighborhood recreation centers, various trails, MMPs, and parks, 9 or 18 holes of golf."

Yes, it would be different but since I can't play golf anymore due to shoulder injuries, that is not really a factor. The question would be if one wanted to be that far away from the town squares and being able to jump into a golf cart to travel to all the commercial space has to offer. If it is true what I saw on another post that the Morse's are actually accumulating parcels between the current southern end of TV and this new village, that would all grow together at some point in the future and commercial space, maybe even another town square would be developed at some point. The question is if I would still be alive by the time that happened ? As much as we have visited over the years (the first time we ever came to TV it had about 10K residents), I don't think we have been there in the last 3 years. Bonifay was just being built and the new town square at Brownwood had just opened. When I left that last time I told my wife that as much as I love TV and all it offers, it was just getting too crowded for my tastes. Over the years, it seemed like the percentage of year round residents had increased because it even seemed more crowded in the summer than I had remembered. We have been looking elsewhere in Florida to retire to be quite honest because of that concern. Nothing really compares to TV. This may be the perfect solution. Villages type atmosphere in a new village with the golf courses, rec centers etc and access (albeit by car) to all that The Villages offers while living in a less congested area. Just a thought. The area in TV we really love is over by the polo grounds. I think that is because there is still some wide open spaces there, so if we bought in the main part of the Villages that is probably where we would look.
