Coleman has two choices; grow or die. If they decide to embrace the growth around them and cater to the needs of a growing community they will also grow and prosper with it. If they want to stick their heads in the sand and hate The Villages and the people that are moving to this sections of Florida then the 301 corridor will thrive and they will wither and die as a community. My guess is that they will be like Wildwood, kicking and screaming how they hate The Villages and saying it's not a good fit for their community, until they realize the huge tax windfall they will be receiving and have to do next to nothing for the residents to receive it, like Wildwood is now doing.

Here's a map of the area the paper was taking about.
It will be interesting to see what Carrot TV dangles to get people to move that far out. There are still 5 discounted houses for sale in Fenney. That is WAY out there..... You can make the argument to those in Monarch Grove that there will be another Town square south of them, but not these people....
