Default 466A Will be Wider

My husband and I met a young kid (18 yrs. old -- that's a kid to me!), who lives with his mom on the south side of 466A in the area where some of the older homes are.

I didn't want to seem like to much of a busy-body, but this is what he told us. 466A is definitely going to be widened and I would assume it will be relatively soon. I'm not sure how many lanes, however. He said the "county" is buying his house. Now, I'm not sure if the county is actually buying it or Morse (same thing to the owner). The county may need the frontage of the physical land for the widening, but I'd be willing to bet Morse is the actual purchaser. He mentioned that where his property is located is slated to be part retention pond and part golf cart path. I don't know how he knows this. I'm not sure how many other properties are involved in this sale, but the sale(s) haven't closed yet.

Although you can't really see anything yet, a lot of infrastructure work is currently being done in Morse's Fruitland property. You can bet things will move quickly. Morse doesn't let grass grow under his feet and every day that goes by is costing him money.
