Costco, most likely, is not that interested in our retirement community. Take a look around 466. Plenty of family homes, apartments, and townhomes. Not to mention families living in Ocala and other neighboring towns. Currently, Middleton is located far off the beaten path with no major thoroughfares. No big box store will be interested in that area until it is completely built to Webster.

You are going to have to face reality. Homes farthest south will not see major commercial FOR MANY YEARS. The Villages recently celebrated Spanish Spring's Anniversary. Does that give you a clue how long it takes for big store interest? 30 yrs for it to happen in Spanish Springs!

Please do not cite Home Depot or Lowes to prove differently. Both sell building materials and both will do well in a construction area.
