Do a Google search on Monarch Ranch / PJ Sola. 3,000 acres (2,000 develop-able) north of 468 and Coleman. The property is bordered by 75 / Turnpike / railroad. It's already being prepared to be a major distribution center (Amazon?). Million dollar SWFWMD environmental studies, Duke Energy projects already approved. Another turnpike entrance discussed. It's going to bring a LOT more people to the area. Really hope TV can find enough people to work in the retirement community. Almost going to have to build housing for them. (I don't know if The Villages owns Monarch Ranch.)
I'd like to see a mini Orlando-like skyline with a downtown area at the place where 75 & the turnpike split. Perhaps a monorail from just south of Brownwood to it. No way that happens, but hey we're getting that big. HA!
Would also like to see TV build a few premier type neighborhoods within its confines to attract good doctors and other professionals.
