What's being built at Pinellas and Powell?
 

Hello,

Does anyone know what is being built on Pinellas, right near Powell? There's a ton of construction going on and it appears to be just outside The Villages border.

Thanks!

Villages Healthcare Center for one thing.

I saw a sign that said "Assisted Living" facility.

A Citizens Bank branch office.

I "think" I saw one too, but it was on Powell Rd just before the library coming from Brownwood. Could it be that duplicate signs are on the front facing Powell and back of the property facing toward Pinellas?

There is one on the south side of 466A also

Has anyone heard anything about a shopping center being built there?
Thanks!

There is a small strip mall going on the east side of Pinellas at 466A.

Is that where the new Publix is going to be located?

There will be a sweet bay or a publics built there.

Sweetbay in a strip mall to the east of the county services building, Citizens Bank on the very east side near Pinellas Place, and Walgreens on the north side of the county service building.

Other to be named later.

Powell Rd developement
 

Todays newspaper had a full story on what is coming to the Powell Rd area. Nothing major, another Walgreens on the corner of Powell & 466A. A Sweetbay and some other stores along 466A, south of a few Golf holes that are on 466A. The whole shopping center is only going to be 82,000 sq ft, including the Sweetbay.

I swa it on the front page of the Sun this morning too.
 

I think that someone official at The Villages, AND/Or at The Daily Sun reads this forum.

There have been so many questions as to when retail would be added in the 466A area on this forum..

There was also some "suggestion" of a restaurant to come in that area. Must be someone who hasn't signed on the dotted line yet. Is that area golf cart accessible?

Now I imagine we will hear from posters who say it isn't close enough to their village.

I still am mad that The Daily Sun has stopped publishing the police blotter.

I like to know all the bad stuff too. Not that we have all that much...but..

Today's Daily Sun answers this question. Check it out. It includes a Sweetbay.
