Penguin, it's not even a question of The Villages right to make changes. The Villages has never had any control at to what was being built on the property because they never owned it. The property ownership where the facility is being built has been continually owned by the Word family out of Gainsville since at least 9/3/62. (per Sumter Co. Assessors Records) If the ownership has been transfered prior to the start of the buildings construction, it's not yet recorded on the Assessors website.

I think you're probably right about the misinformation being in writing at the time of the closing, but I doubt even that would do much good. The Villages could simply say that the information was to the best of their knowledge at the time, and that changes could have been made that they had no control over. I do feel to some extent for those who may feel short changed, but unfortunately I think it's pretty much a moot matter now with little or no recourse for them.

It has been brought to my attention that my comments above were based on my misunderstanding on exactly where the assisted living facility is located. I thought it was on the west side of Buena Vista rather than it's location on the east side of Buena Vista. Please disregard my comments and I apologize for any confusion that may have been caused by my misunderstanding.
