Everything is relative.
Inadequate retail is nothing more than a current snap shot. Has nothing to do with what is yet to come.

I go back to my earlier post.
Inadequate retail?
How about what was not here retail wise as TV began to move across 466 (not 466 A).
No shopping center where Target is....no shopping center where Kohls is....no home depot....
nothing in or around Rolling acres.
No Lake Sumter Landing....and on and on.
Well the same thing that happened as the development moved not so slowly southward.
The population hit a critical mass level that was of interest to many national chains.
As the saying goes build it and they will come. Well once TV crossed 466 the population began to soar.

Does anybody remember when Publix at Colony Plaza opened. It was the place to go because there was nobody there.
Fast forward to crossing 466 A...the population continues to soar...the new retail continues to fill in....

For all of you that were not here during this evolution.....rest assured as south of 44 fills in the retail will come....and other businesses/restaurants/big boxes/and stuff like Shooters World will continue to come.

All the arm waving about Fenney this or that.....will be a laugh in 5 more years!!

As was stated by an earlier post.....sound advice.....TV is ours....NOT this is mine and that is yours!!
