Kiddo.

Most of the population of Fruitland Park is up by the post office, miles away from the planned extension of The Villages. None of them will be changed a whit. No more than Wildwood or Lady Lake is changed by us being near. We are already a huge presence. Their daily lives will be the same, the current residents of Fruitland Park, but they will have more money in their tax base.
