Saddened by the prospect of having no indoor swimming pool within the confines of The Villages, I can only guess the move will somehow be profitable $$$ to the owners. Isn't $$$ usually the bottom line ?

I think we sometimes forget that the town squares, the buffalo, the wellness center, etc., aren't ours. They aren't "owned" by the residents and we don't pay for them as part of our amenities.

A privately-owned business does what is necessary to make a profit or ends up closing its doors. And sadly, we've seen plenty of that with local restaurants and even the new bakery shop in Buffalo Ridge.
