I would suspect Costco may be more interested in locating in this area once we approach buildout. I think a site along SR44 near to the extension of Morse would locate them near enough to Leesburg to take advantage of that population yet be close enough to be convenient to TV. Despite the anticipated population of more than 100K villagers, I think Costco wants an industrial/commercial base upon which to draw as well. Also, the connection of Morse to the Turnpike may facilitate supplying a new location along with the Orlando locations.

Maybe a little bit of wishful thinking on my part.
