I have to admit that I was a bit confused as to the location of Brownwood.
As you know, I do go right to the horse's mouth (Well....close but no cigar...I'll never tell!)
The developer wants their major shopping/dining/entertainment spots closer to a major roadway. In this case, 44.....for a number of reasons.
The careful reasoning and of course, well-thought out plans for the location of Brownwood is because of the buinesses that the developer wants to attract. The developer is concerned about access and exposure. The developer wants good quality business partners which will allow for the widest variety of services.
The developer is concerned about desirable traffic patterns. You who have been in TV can see that the developer has planned the community to keep the more highly traveled roads separate from the residential areas as much as possible.
Brownwood is the perfect location for Big Event Entertainment "Destinations". The developer planned for parking, crowd control, increased activity for their businesses, etc. Most people living in TV want to be able to choose to go downtown.....they don't want to LIVE downtown and around all these issues every day.
So....hopefully, for those interested, this explains the reasons why Brownwood was built in that location. Obviously, there was a LOT of careful planning.
I for one am very happy about the location. I'm in St. James and it's the best of both worlds there. LSL and Brownwood...we are smack in the middle.
That's the swimdawg update.
