There are always those that are opposed to development. I've seen articles and letters to the editor of The Orlando Sentinetal expressing opinion that Orlando would have been better off if Disney World had never been built in the Orlando area. Hey, everybody has a right to their opinions but the fact is most reasonable people believe that Disney is a great asset to the area. Would the tri-county area (especially Sumter County) be better off without The Villages? Most would say TV has been an asset and a blessing to the tri-county area. Is everybody happy? Of course not, for many reasons, you always have disgruntled people who feel they didn't get their piece of the pie. But TV has provided opportunities to hundreds of local residents that would never have happen without development of TV. Now a small Grant from Sumter County is awarded to TV. Most would say---long overdue and it should be 10 times more for all TV and it's residents have done for Sumter County.
