St. Augustine may be a municipality (which is “any city, town, or village duly incorporated under the laws of the state”) but it has a population of less than 16,000.

Not sure why its political definition makes a difference in funding.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was a $1.2 trillion bill. As far as I can tell, it was not limited to municipalities. One of the bill’s purposes was to address climate change. If we can get 5% of Villagers to use it, it would perhaps save the planet. Surely we can get our fair share of the money.

And the government should also put a connecting rail from the Villages to Orlando airport. That would be very popular!
