Proposed Development at 466A & 462 is dead!
 

The developer that was going to build 400 rental units at the northeast corner of 466A & 462 has declared bankruptcy! Might be a long time before anything is developed on the property. Read about it on that other website.

Is this the brand new one that just began to move dirt a couple of weeks ago, and that abuts property in The Villages? The one on 466A across from Pinelles Plaza? The one that would have all ages living there?

I believe this one is west of the one currently grading. This one abuts 462.

Thanks Mike. I just asked Henry where is 462 and he didn't answer so I jumped to conclusions.

Right, the parcel currently being developed is the east most one abutting Sand Hill GC.

I wonder if the Wildwood city fathers will regret their decision to award the property to that developer?

I wonder if they'll change their collective minds and renegotiate with TV? I think there could still be GC access via Tamarind Grove.

OH good, now all the villagers living in the vicinity of this mostly SANDY lot will be subjected to blowing dust, since all the grass cover has been removed, and this is Wildwood, we have no official say..........

Which is why TV was turned down as the developer.

I didn't realize they cleared that parcel already.

If you travel west of 466a from Buena Vista, all you see to the North is lots of dirt and sand.

On a side note, an email has been sent to Janet Tutt asking for her assistance in getting Wildwood to have the developer return the land to a grassed area to control dust, and if necessary to restore the landscape to original contours to reduce possible flooding.

Excellent! Thanks for doing that.

I think it may be possible we have confused the two developments on 466A. I believe the one under construction now is still a go. This is the development that Lowes has an application in for. The other proposed development across from Publix and Walgreens that abutts 462 and 466A is the one that the developer is seeking bankruptcy. This was the same parcel of land that The Villages proposed building on. It would certainly be nice if Wildwood would now approve this if The Villages makes another try at it. The other development with all the land cleared is for three big box stores, medical offices, apartments, gas station, etc..and that is rapidly moving ahead.

I will need to look over the maps when I get a chance, but there is an awful lot of land being disturbed for a Lowes. When I get a chance, I will need to look up the maps for the site.

Villageswimmer, you are welcome. It will be interesting to see if I get a response.

No dirt has been moved on the parcel at the intersection of 466A & 462. No dust to worry about.
