Default Any Further News On The "Wetlands Restoration" On CR 466?

I mentioned this project here once before. My own investigation at the time indicated that no building permits had been pulled and reports were that the work being done (by The Villages) was intended to "return the former peat production facility to nature". In fact, The Daily Sun lists the project as wetlands restoration in the weekly construction updates.

If that's the case, "nature" will be a big beneficiary! The land clearing and grading extends from almost CR 100 back to near Morse Blvd and from CR 466 almost all the way to the northern edge of Lake Sumter. It's gotta cover dozens of acres. "Nature" will also benefit from some sizable storm drains that are sticking out of the ground paralleling 466. "Nature" may benefit from those storm drains, but they look very much like what might be necessary to prepare a site for a large development of some kind.

I'm not saying, but I'm saying...anyone else know or heard of what's going on over there?
