Default Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!

When we moved here there was a lawsuit against the developer building Sumpter Landing brought against him because of concerned citizens worried about the water tables in this area and the impact that so much development would have on the land. Much open space was here all that not so long ago. Many residents who bought here were "promised" not written, that no development would take place in several areas. I attended a garden meeting a year ago by a former resident who is very distressed with the loss of natural habitat that was supposed to remain undeveloped for wildlife. There had been an orginal plan that we saw and were told about, about what would be developed in the future ,however that is not so today. Is this a situation where like the Talk Host the railroad was not shown on the Villages maps of that time.
