Given that the original projected was being funded 100% by The Villages, one can only assume they had a change of heart - much like the long discussed but never delivered I-75 exit.

Only the efforts using tax dollars has been redirected.
Phase 1 of CR 468 / Turnpike interchange is funded by The Villages.
Phase 1 provides ON and OFF access to and from Orlando area.
Phase 2 will be funded with tax dollars,
Phase 2 was the only thing put on a "so called" indefinite hold.
This only means Phase 2 will be delayed.
The Turnpike / US 301 was fast tracked from 2035 to 2015.
This does not affect the Phase 1 work at CR 468 and The Turnpike.

As a Side Note....
.. completion of making Interstate 75 into six lanes from Wildwood to Miami has been made a priority.
The I-75 portion "starting from Wildwood" toward Tampa is "Priority ONE" now.
The crossroads of Florida will still be Wildwood FL. (Surprise, Surprise.)
