Apparently, 1300 people a day move into Florida. Central Florida is receiving more than their share of new arrivals. When does too much growth become too much? South Florida didn’t stop development in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Look at South Florida now. Look at California and Arizona’s valley of the sun. Do you want to move to LA? Leesburg is next door to The Villages means Leesburg might as well embrace “growth” because it’s certainly coming their way and Leesburg can’t stop it.

Leesburg is NOT next door to The Villages. There are over 5,000 of us in Newell, Lake Denham and Dabney within Leesburg city limits NOW.
