I am wondering if a large corporation can accomplish what a small family unit has done here in The Villages. St. Joe, a former paper company, has a lot of money and a vast amount of property. But does it have the vision and the ability to maintain that vision that Harold Schwartz had and his family still has?
I am reminded of the old adage "A camel is a horse designed by a committee".
St Joe is no stranger to property development but I think trying to duplicate what the Schwartz/Morse family has done and is still doing here could prove beyond their reach.
I agree with those that feel the Panhandle is not as desirable as Central Florida, beaches not withstanding.
