I believe that many businesses aren't interested in moving here because of the age demographics. I used to do a lot of product surveys and when my age bracket changed from 59 to 60 companies were no longer interested in my opinions. When I asked why I was told that businesses do not believe that people over 60 spend as much as those under 60. In the rest of the country I might agree with that statement but we all know that The Villages is different than any other place. One only has to look at the long lines at Home Goods, Bed Bath and Beyond and the full restaurants every night to know that we all have a whole lot of disposable income.
