And, I might add, 4,000 more Villagers to buy Cars, Golf carts, and ice cream. Such a deal.

I must admit that I don't know the "political climate" for the area but I find it hard to believe that they would turn down this proposed project by the Village's Developer. Other cities would give "their eye teeth" for a chance at economic development like what is proposed by the TV Developer.

I only see minimum impact, if any, on current residents. Perhaps this will help bring a Macy's or Dillard's ---maybe even another Publix to TV. Oh, what am I saying!
I can't see anything bad but then again I like new stuff.
