The bond pays for the construction of the roads in the Villages, local taxes pay for care and maintenance of the roads. Villa roads are a special case, the CDD pays for maintenance of those.
Sumter County does not pay for infrastructure in the Villages. The payment you are referencing (not sure if your number is correct) was for improvements to existing County roads. In some areas the County would use their road crews to make the improvements but here they contract it out. In this case a company of the Villages performed the work.
