Based on what was in yesterdays paper and now on TV website, it's not Lady Lake that should be worrying about the southern villagers going north, it's more like the south should be worried about the northern villagers coming south. The amenities that are going to be here are great along with easy access to the turnpike and I-75. Dirt is already being moved for the Magnolia and River Birch Plaza's, that will be a plus for grocery shopping, banking, gas, etc. DeSoto is well underway along with all of it's great amenities nearing completion, and the road has started into McClure, it won't belong before Fenney way has another exit onto 468 just west of 501. Selling seems to be brisk as moving trucks, Pods and uPacks seem to be everywhere, many lots have been sold for custom builds and there are already 1100 residents here, not bad for the first year as there wasn't much to choose from even 9 months ago and even less when selling began in February. I'm sure that a lot of the uncertainty has now been alleviated after the release of all the new information and selling will be even more brisk. Once the proposed tunnels and bridges are complete and especially after Buena Vista makes it at least to 468 it will be a whole new ballgame, those who want to venture north will have easy access as long as they have the time and a full tank or full charge. Lots to look forward to, just gotta stay healthy.
