To claim that incentives were necessary to entice the Developer to expand The Villages is absurd.
Where has ANY poster "claimed" that incentives were necessary for the Developer or that the Developer even sought them out? How much pressure is put on the Developer to bring more new housing/retail units into a local community in order to boost their tax base?
