As for development plans, you don’t wake up 1 morning and say we will start building in this new area. It takes years of planning, surveying, permits, building the infrastructure and so on before the 1st house can be built.
As for never thinking of moving south of 466, we just moved here and we didn’t even consider anything north of 466a and we ended up in the southern most part. We know several people that have moved from the old section of the villages to the south and the people we know that live south of 44 that are selling, they are all moving into a newer home in either Richmond or Newell. There are so many more benefits living in the southern sections compared to the older sections.
Like fewer mature trees, close proximity to a Federal Prison, Turnpike noise, greater traffic, a bond to pay off, and lots of dust and noise from the busy construction crews. Yea, that sounds like a paradise made in heaven to me.
