Wildwood did not want the property to be developed as a senior community and wanted far greater residential density and more commercial and retail space. The Villages plan which was rejected was for a senior community with an additional golf course and recreational facilities which would be connected to existing Villages development.
The development currently underway will represent the land use desired by Wildwood and will have virtually no recreational amenities other than walking trails and a very small (7.6 acre) city park. It will not be connected to The Villages, nor will residents of that area have access to Villages amenities. We will have to deal with the additional traffic that is inevitable along 466A, of course.

Always enjoy and agree with your posts.
I would have much preferred to have more of The Villages in the area that Wildwood wanted more Wildwood. It is my opinion that behind a lot of decisions made by the current leadership of Wildwood is Village envy. The Villages don't have to play with them. Go Morses.
