According to the other village news site, and I quote; “a controversial zoning petition for a retail development along County Road 466 was rejected unanimously Tuesday night by Sumter County commissioners after strong opposition by neighboring property owners.
The action was a rare denial of a zoning petition by the usually pro-business board. Earlier this month, the county Zoning Board of Adjustment also recommended denial of the rezoning.
The petition would have rezoned four acres to heavy commercial to allow development of several stores anchored by a 30,000-square-foot grocery store plus parking.
Not part of The Villages, the property is across the highway from Laurel Manor Recreation Center near the Hampton Inn & Suites.”
I suspect that once this land is acquired by the Villages Developer, things will smoothly proceed.
