An interesting item in the Daily Commercial said that The Villages wants all the permits and approvals to be done by Sumter County, even though the entire project is in Lake County. Is there a precedent for this anywhere in the state of Florida, building in one county while another county gives the approvals?
IMO there is a reason why TV has not built one residence in Lake County since the late 1990's, and that is they don't have all the elected officials in their pocket. Hopefully, Lake County will say no to this request if this project ever gets off the ground.
