Good question, Mike. We had a pretty long thread about property purchases a couple of weeks ago when all of the ownership of the land around the proposed exchange came out. hard to know what they plan. I did note that they've owned that land for several years.
If it were me, I would want Brownwood to eventually become surrounded by homes from TV. But that may not be practical. And another question we really didn't have an answer for is, "at what point would TV be too large?" I certainly don't have an answer, but I think even with Brownwood the idea of a golf cart from north of 466 to there is pretty extreme, let alone if they do end up building south of 44.
I guess you could say the developer may not know, but they seem pretty smart. So I would think if there is any thought at all about going further south they would have already purchased the land or gotten an option through shadow companies or agents long ago before Brownwood was even designed. It will be interesting to see where things go.
I do agree spending all that money for the exhange if they are about done seems odd. Of course one of the things I always find interesting is what their success has done to their marketing. I remember several years ago when I started seeing TV commercials during golf. All that stopped years ago. Honestly they don't do much marketing and don't seem to need it. Stuff just seems to sell as fast as they can build it. It will take something like the IRS ruling to sidetrack it, and I'm not even sure that would.
Luckily for residents and the rest of us, I believe the place has reach critical mass. It may change in the future, it may actually become a city at some point, but I believe it will continue to prosper.
