Take a look at a map and observe the expressways, by passes, etc surrounding those areas. Given the three county location and multiple city occupation of The Villages who is in charge of the long term grand integrated plan ?

I have been saying this for years! As a local, it's so frustrating!! It takes me 30 minutes to get home from work, where, in the morning, it only takes me 10-15 minutes! Plus, the congestion in Lady Lake is insane! The population to roadway "ratio" just isn't working, anymore! This was a small town area, it's grown so much, but they haven't done anything to help relieve the roadway congestion.
We need more big-name businesses built, Home Depot, Target, Joanns, SAM'S CLUB!!!, etc. that could at least give it a start.
