You must not have been “south” in awhile. Our area south of 44 is now 6 years old, landscaping is beautiful and not overgrown and old looking. There are plenty of medical facilities including the emergency room at 44, all the facilities at Brownwood, as well as many independent offices constantly opening. We have 3 new golf courses opening shortly in addition to what we already have, as well as all the new businesses that will be at Eastport. Are there bonds, yes. Some have been paid off but most have not. But you are getting new/newer homes with updated floor plans, new roofs, new heating and cooling, etc. There are many benefits to the more southern areas.
