They go to the intersection of Warm Springs and 301 and turn into a very large dirt area on the South side of Warm Springs there. I have no idea if any construction is happening there or if it is just a dirt fill. I don't know if it is even owned by The Villages.

On this run I could not help but to notice where no apparent construction was happening today. I could observe nothing going on in Magnolia Plaza area which will provide the only shopping opportunities South of 44 for all of us who are South of 44 and still have to go North of it. Construction for it has apparently stagnated.
The site they are dumping on near 301 is going to have a few hundred homes built and it is part of The Villages. The Plaza might be waiting for inspections of some sort before they can go further, no one knows for sure but they will complete it eventually. Maybe they have to wait for the waste water treatment facility to be completed???
