GaryW is direct on-point. In my mind, it's not "if" that continues but "when" it will be completed.
A check of sumterpa.com GIS map of the likely Turnpike-468 intersection shows that Villages-related owners own land adjacent to and stretching out from three of the four corners of that intersection. (I deduce that the owners are Villages-related based on the address listed for the respective holding company owners).
Consequently, there is no doubt that the intersection will happen and that area will be quite developed; with an outlet-type mall the leading contender?
What foresight! The parcels were purchased over a period of a couple of years, 2003-2005.
One of the parcels is listed as agricultural-sugar cane….I am no sugar cane farmer, but judging from the GIS map, that parcel is awfully arid for a sugar cane field.
The smallest of the parcels was purchased for $200K…an exorbitant amount when compared to the prices paid for neighboring parcels. Did someone actually get the better of “the developer” in a real estate transaction!?
I am amazed at the Morse Family perspicacity, risk assessment and risk taking skills, and ability to make their visions become realities. I would never begrudge them for that.
