Best logical guess, once building is completed to 470 and all work is south of it, then they will sell it to the Eastport Community Development District.
Amenities between CR466 and SR44 did not become owned by a government body (SLCDD) until 2016 when construction started south of SR44.
Don't worry about the ownership, it doesn't affect the play or use thanks to the agreements that are in place.

Goldwingnut, thanks for your service representing the residents of The Villages. In the past you have been a strong proponent of ensuring The Villages remains "The Villages" and not The Villages - Original and Everyone else. I feel it is important and one of the great strengths of The Villages, to maintain our All For One and One For All makes up. Whether this is about the same amenity fee, the same trail fee or even the same access to all of what The Villages has to offer. Not something where we are divided for our own interests. If we divide ourselves and lose the continuity, we become just like all the other separate communities outside of The Villages.
While it may be true that someone from the very southern area of The Villages may not go to facilities and services on the very northern end or vice versa, the fact they CAN (on a golf cart even) and without anything special is what makes The Villages special and unique.
Thanks again for your service.
