The chart on page 8 shows capital projects funds much lower for 2019 than in 2018. But, the "special revenue" category goes up more than enough to offset that. A bit of a shell game there, perhaps. My biggest concern is whether the Villages developer is covering a fair share of the cost of the many new roads and road improvements needed to support the new development.

I would say that the old belief that having county maintained roads in the Villages saves Villagers money has been put to rest. We pay for everything we have as it should be.
At the same time the Villages continues to grow, Sumter County will become more a part of the Villages.
