Calling it a Lifestyle center combining recreation, with business/restaurant/shopping in one location near championship golf including:

A 400-acre “Medical Village” that will include a new UF Health trauma center that also will serve as a teaching hospital for medical students;

An “Urban core” shopping center near the medical complex and that will include complementary businesses;

Housing for doctors, nurses and other medical professionals;

A “Lifestyle Center” and some sort of town center;

A “Super-Regional” recreation center;

New golf courses, a Pitch & Putt and Putting Course;

A lake large enough to host regional or international events such as dragon boat racing, skiing, rowing, remote-controlled boats and sailing;

New bridges connecting the sprawling portions of the new areas, including one that will accommodate both multi-modal and automobile traffIc;

A second K-8 Villages Charter School campus and an expanded high school campus that includes a sports complex, gym, stadium and performing arts center, among other things;

A neighborhood near the new school campus for employees who work in The Villages (we’re guessing areas like Oxford Oaks and the Villages of Parkwood, not much-needed affordable housing for those with lower-paying jobs like cooks, waitresses, landscapers and sanitation workers who provide vital services to Villagers);

New recreation centers;

A new restaurant and pub; and

An indoor farmer’s market.

In order for RT44 to be the geographic center of TV the southern boundary of your attached map would need to extend approximately 6 miles further south per my rough calculation. Look at that - possibly still room for speculation !
