They won't be responsible for that after this.

So for all of those years the non-Disney residents have gotten those services for free?

"The new legislation said that landowners within the Reedy Creek Improvement District, primarily Walt Disney World, would be solely responsible for paying the cost of providing typical municipal services like power, water, roads, fire protection etc.

"Local taxpayers, meaning residents of Orange and Osceola County, would not have to pay for building or maintaining those services.".
