I don't see where this is a surprise. The property around Lake Deaton was purchased a while ago and I'm sure it was not intended to be pasture land. All the work the article describes is north of 44, where TV has always intended to be. Now if they were working south of 44, that would be news.

My question is why they would want to fund the interchange at the Turnpike when build-out is not too far away. From a sales standpoint, that interchange would have been beneficial years ago. Now, it would simply be a shortcut for TV residents to get to the turnpike.

Unless there are thoughts of continuing TV south of 44.
