In reality, the Morse family (aka "the Developer") has less to do with the daily functioning of The Villages than you think. The amenities (executive golf courses, the rec centers, common grounds, etc.) are maintained by the CDDs. The roads are maintained by the county. What the Developer does control and maintain are the commercial shopping areas, the Championship Golf courses, and the amenities in the new areas that have not yet been turned over to the CDDs.

functioning and beautiful. Perhaps all the doubters should register
for the Residents and Citizens Academies to realize what it take
to keep this place running. Personally I have always been a
fan of the Morse family and appreciate the lifestyle they offer
us. Go visit some of the developments surrounding The Villages
and you will can see the difference. I know of no other community
that offers so much. Hats off to the Morse Family.
