The Villages knew that they had to improve the conditions there so people would not feel threatened going to Brownwood and/or buying south of 466. Wildwood had a very bad reputation for crime back then as well. So, essentially the developer determined that the people building in that area needed to subsidize Wildwood so that it would become a nicer gateway into The Villages.

I believe you MISSPOKE. You must mean 466 'A'. The Village of Mallory is south of 466 and we are not part of Wildwood!!!
