The true fear of the developer stopping building is the loss of thousands of construction jobs that would devastate the local economy, result in high unemployment, higher crime, and the closure of many businesses. This country has 2 minor pillars in its economy-agriculture and the prisons, and 2 major pillars- construction and the wealth of the resident retirees. Damage any of them and the roof falls in.
Spot on… the opposite of continued quality growth and development would not be a “pretty picture”. The Village developers and the CDD Boards appear to me to be doing a good job of building and maintaining a quality live, work and play environment!
