If global warming is as existential as people say, I would think that the Federal and state government would provide us funding to save the planet.

It doesn't hurt to apply for the funds - all they can do is say no. There are a lot of votes in the Villages. And people would save a lot of money if they could stay independent for a year or two instead of going to an assisted living facility or a nursing home.

I agree on the request but understand, St. Augustine is a municipality....big difference. As another posted earlier, if it was that important, the developer would’ve found a way to implement by now. I don’t think it’s amongst their top priorities. There are voters in TV, but I don’t see any politician getting bounced over an issue like this
