Publix is pretty busy now and with approx. 20,000 people moving in South of 466A it could probably use another store that would also draw from Wildwood. It may be golf cart accessible since the Library will be according to the sign in front. I kind of thought that Publix would open a store on 44 more to the west near Brownwood to handle all the new residents. That would put a little more distance between stores, give the residents a closer store who live further South, and give us the option of a Sweet Bay. By the way, in S. Florida I know of several Publix stores within 3 miles or less of each other.
