Please note that CDDs were originally created by the Florida legislature to help developers build new communities and then have residents elect their own supervisors to run the government. The Villages is a unique instance were the Developer does retain control of the 3 commercial CDDs which are setup as kind of master CDDs with all residential CDDs eventually having locally elected representation. So, it a CDD mixture of both private and local citizens control with for some reason the commercial CDDs having more influence over everything. I don’t believe that this mixture was the intent of the original CDD legislation.
