Lifetime Learning College
>>> Self-sustaining thru fees; not sure if the developer subsidizes this at all

Street maintenance - Morse, Buena Vista, etc. AND gated neighborhoods
>>> Good question; the answer is probably different for each county; in Sumter, County is supposed to maintain all roads (that's what we were told) but lately have been reading stories about exactly what the county has committed to; maybe just main streets (Canal, Buena Vista, Morse, etc); Villa roads are CDD responsibility.
Etc.

Anyone know?

John...these are the answers to the best of my knowledge from things I have read or heard. It'll be interesting to hear the 'official' answers you get from Ms Tutt. All good questions.
