You can't have one without the other. It is a tradeoff that is a net positive. A couple minutes more is much less than the time it takes to go from Brownwood to Lady Lake or to the stores on 466.

I am curious though on what TV would have done with the property if they had been able to develop it. Would we have these same big box stores? I suppose we will never know.

Either way the increase in traffic was inevitable.
