Saw this yesterday - plans for a "Villages"-like community in the Florida panhandle covering 110,500 acres and up to 170,000 homes.
St. Joe planning Panhandle retirement community
includes these statements:
“The project would take multiple decades to build out in full – vastly exceeding but firmly in the mold of The Villages (outside Ocala),” Puryear and Horne said.
With The Villages likely completing residential development sometime in 2017, it appears that St. Joe clearly aims to market this community as the new Florida retirement destination of choice for migrating baby boomers,” they said.
