Nobody is disputing the names come from their hometown. The family has been using "family-related" names for years throughout development. This thread is about the amount of land the developer has purchased...enough to double the size of the Villages. This has been confirmed several times in this thread. Whether it is the reason they renamed the road Central Pkwy may be questionable. However, the development maps provided by a few posters on this thread reveal, without question, that Central Pkwy will be the in the middle of the Villages when the planned construction is complete. If the developer purchases more land, this will obviously change.
I looked up the history of Central Lake in Michigan. It got its name because it is located in the center of a chain of lakes. Not that far-fetched that the family knows this information and is using it the same way in the Villages.
