The amount of the demolition and restoration of the windmill and water tower is estimated at $225,000. The money would come from maintenance assessment fees paid by residents of The Villages living south of County Road 466.”

I am not aware of the need, the proposed work or a reasonable price for the job. Surely we could have one villager climb the structure and carry down the windmill in one hand and the water tower in the other. Taking not more than 10 minutes.
The cost of keeping this place up, is huge. Assuming they will be rebuilt as is, cost of lumber, rot resistant lumber, cost of labor, qualified labor, permits, insurance are all out of sight. Who to call who can rebuild a windmill? Replace parts etc.
