supposedly Sumter county has taken 2 homes in her neighborhood that back up to Fenny for roadways already under eminent domain laws .....wow
They and there neighbors are selling all the town.....as a unit........$250k an acre....so cool......although she didn't feel the same way. They are loosing there neighbors and friends and she was not excited about that.
I said......I still don't understand how the villages will get over the Fla Pike. She said they already have....a little south of the Okahumpka toll...The Villages built a bridge over the turnpike and they own all the property from Center Hill to 44. I wasn't sure she was correct...
So when I got back home, I google mapped it, and she is absolutly correct. The bridge is there and seems an easy stretch from 505 to 468 or 44.....villages named it Southern Oaks....or so they said.
So now I know why Fenny is there....it will become golf cart accessible to the town squares and the other golf someday. Very interesting....

Can you link us to something that supports this claim that the Villages has taken homes in eminent domain? I doubt that they would have the power and I think a lot of incorrect information is spread by people who really aren't crazy about the developers or are angry they can't sell new homes. Not saying you didn't hear it, but I have heard some mightly tall tales from subs and people who are supposedly in the know.
Anything at all will do to support this rumor.. If it is so I will run naked through the square. And no one wants that! I bet what happened was that The developers bought the property from them at a good price.............
