Keep posting news the Developer is doing GREAT. The rest of us will post how his GREATNESS is affecting homeowners.
Do you have an update on how many leases there are for Middleton? Last I heard, there was only one- a barbecue joint. Who wants to live in or near a ghost town? The Developers theory," if you build it, they will come", doesn't appear to be working.

You have been here forever, remember when LSL was a ghost town, with developer owned places, furniture store, the spot where Panera is for continental breakfast for lifestyle visit. Sweetwater grocery. Houses were occupied because that was where our lifestyle was, but had to go to SS if you wanted or needed anything.
Then Brownwood was not just a ghost town, but empty land surrounding the square, with lifestyle visit in Aldon Bungalows. Driving up to LSL was a given. Brownwood buildings are finally starting to see business.
So if you move to moultie creek drive up to Brownwood.
There is a theme here. Buy new, drive north for business. Just think when Middleton retail is finished residents will be driving up from whatever the next named village (or unnamed because everything else is taken)
