You are correct Forever Villager that the squares are owned by the developer along with all the other land that is part of the Central CDDs.

Now, let's discuss the CDD's. Who sits on the boards of the CDD's? Only those who are appointed by the majority landowner. Who is the majority landowner in the Central CDD's (Lake Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs)? The developer because he is the ONLY landowner. So, who basically "owns' the two Central CDD's? I don't think I need to answer that one. I'm sorry, but there IS a difference in the CDDs. Two are owned and controlled by the developer...the remaining CDDs are controlled and owned by the residents when the area has been built out. Don't tell me that you are going to say that a CDD is still a CDD. Maybe in definiton of the term but in actuality...here in The Villages, there IS a difference....based on who (how many) have ownership.

Repeating myself, you are correct with who owns the squares...they are owned by the CDD's that purchased them from the developer at his asking price without question (I'm supposing since they have purchased golf courses at his high inflated asking prices without question.).

You are probably going to misunderstand me but I'm in favor of Gary Morse and have no complaints with what he has accomplished. I applaud him and his father for all they have done for us. Without them, I wouldn't be the happy Villager I am today. All I'm doing here is educating you, and others about CDD's. Nothing more. It's the teacher in me.
