Good information BLUEASH -- thanks. The building is listed on county records as a 'CHURCH', not an entertainment venue. Interesting!
Let me take one more stab at this -- perhaps I wasn't as clear in my writing as I am in my head. Gracie is right, why would I be concerned since the developer has a good track record of building nice town squares, etc. In the case of new building, such as town squares, I don't think there is any reason to be concerned. But, in the case of renovating, and perhaps significantly changing, something many, many of us have used and loved for years, it is concerning. ESPECIALLY because the developer has been very ambiguous about what he calls 'future programming' -- that is, how the new building will be used in the future. Like many of us who live in The Villages, I ran a large organization in my previous life. I believed in transparency -- no secrecy, no hiding, open kimona. The developer does not operate that way. Secrecy leads to suspicion. And in the case of the Church on the Square I think there is reason to be suspicious.
