I don't know, neighbor. Why just Fenny? I'd hate to see
those people from Country Club Hills or Mulberry coming down here to Brownwood, clogging the roads with traffic, using Eisenhower, etc. Maybe it has something to do with them paying the same amenity fee that we do.
In reality, however, how often do you go to Spanish Springs? Play Lopez or Orange Blossom? Go to the Mulberry Rec Center? I have never even seen the "hysterical" side. I think that WHEN ( I doubt there is much IF) everything from here to Fenny is TV, the same will be true. Given just the amount of land between here and Fenny with plans for 14,000 new homes, I would imagine 3 or 4 championship courses, 12-14 execs, 30 neighborhood pools, 7 or 8 village rec centers, 1 or 2 regional rec centers and a town square. Residents of Fenny will have no need to come as far north as Brownwood, just as we have no need to go play Orange Blossom or use Mulberry Rec Center.
My only confusion was the statement that they plan to build the 14,000 homes "over the next decade". It only to 5 years to build everything south of 466A, generally at a rate of 400 new homes/month. The infrastructure went in quickly as well. It took less than 2 years from the time there were just piles of dirt from 466A and Microracetrack as far as the eye could see and the thousands of homes in Pine Ridge and Osceola Hills to be sold and occupied. I doubt there will be problems crossing 44 or the Turnpike in some way---after all, for every $70 they add to the price of a home there, they generate $1 million. Plenty of money to solve problems.
