Anybody have additional info? I kinda have to laugh at all these rumors. Everyone seems to have heard them but no one knows anything about them! LOL
At one time TV publicized that it might build a "large" mall west of Brownwood between 44 & 44A. Therefore, the source of the rumor. Those plans have changed - the north half of that area will be villas and the south half will be a strip mall anchored by Publix. Both of those projects are currently under construction.

The monorail system rumor is laughable. Do you hear about it in the paper or on television? No, only at the pool! Just look at the new SunRail system. We heard about it for many years (from reliable sources) before it became a reality.
