Yes the Villages has and will have a major impact on the whole area. Be nice, we are your neighbors. and don't think I like the comment that we are a trucker town. I-75 is four miles away and most don't stray from the interstate.

I hope what I said wasn't taken in a negative way - I certainly meant no offense. When you drive through the town it is clear that the economy is not thriving. An influx of "customers" will certainly help get businesses up and running. I am looking forward to the day it is a thriving town.
