so there could be some hurdles - but i don't see them at the county level.
Maybe I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but don't we expect that the new area will be set up as a CDD?

TV will put in the infrastructure and connect it to existing (or new) Villages resources - sewer, water (both potable and irrigation). I'm not sure if SECO supplies electricity in Lake County. TV will decide if natural gas will be brought in. TV will install streets, storm sewers and retention ponds.

I don't see TV performing any improvements to roads and recreation facilities for the Fruitland Park residents.
