The work won't be done for at least another 20 years, the workers know it and are pretty happy about the situation, job stability. I've spoken to many of the workers while out flying, some have been working with The Villages 15-20 years and love the job security that is here. And that's just the work that is foreseeable based on the land purchases that have been announced. One can be sure that there is more to come after that as long as the economy stays at least semi-stable and people keep growing older and want to retire.

And to think it all started with a trailer park and a dream...
