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.

VK, this thread is very long and has taken some twists and turns - as is often the case.
You didn't quote a message, so I'm not sure who you are responding to. You refer to the approximately 300 acres on CR 466A, across from Pinellas Plaza.
This thread was started to discuss the approximately 2,300 acres in the area along CR 468, north of Florida's Turnpike. This parcel is definitely own by The Villages.
