This leaves the central and northern Villages to figure out something. They should still be getting services from the county. The sheriff should be supplying law enforcement and a county sponsored fire system should be in place.

We are a growing region that has to align, but hasn’t yet.

I would recommend you attending the Sumter County Resident Academy and get a little more understanding on how things work in Sumter County and follow that up with the Villages Resident Academy to understand The Villages.
