Default An update on the Progress Energy/Walmart fence

This was posted in my community's POA website:

Stonecrest POA

Progress Energy Fence, Looking for a Solution!

There are still continuing discussions going on with Progress Energy and Walmart (and other local business). Progress Energy is working with Walmart’s realestate team and researching possible solutions for the path. At this point in time no decision has been made.

A fence will eventually be installed; however,we are looking forward to a solution that will benefit all parties involved. As more information is received I will post updates.

This is a Publication of Stonecrest POA

Does that fence mean that Stonecrest residents could not golf cart to The Villages and use our Multi-Modal Trails?

No, it means that residents who live in the less affluent manufactured home sections of TV will not have golf cart access to the more affordable food, clothing, and medication offered by Wal-Mart via that trail.

So will the more affluent site built homeowners have access? Appears the seperation between classes is getting wider. No perhaps we are just getting fenced in? Think I'll move to Stonecrest. Getting to Walmart from that affluent neighborhood just threw me over the edge.

Stonecrest residents can use their golf carts to access over 150 retail stores and restaurants all along the 441 corridor without ever traveling on amenity supported multi-modal trails in TV.

Unless you include the golf cart bridge in the multi-modal trails. Supposedly the developer owns the golf cart bridge, but where is it written that ammenity fees do not support that facility which is open to walkers, bikers, and golf carts: ie multi-modal.

I believe people are misintrepting EdV's comment. Rather than being hurtful I think he was trying to be helpful indicating the folks that probably regularly use that path may be cut off and it could hurt them in their pocket. Sounds like a Stonecrest vs Village feud going on here and for the life of me can't imagine why that would be. Why don't we all just count our
blessing to be in this beautiful part of Florida and enjoy it whichever way we choose. Peace!

I believe Walmart, Progress Energy and Stonecrest POA have been in meetings to resolve this issue - don't believe any reps from TV were involved (???)

Stonecrest property borders on the new medical facilities behind Aldi's and a gate could easily be added but probably would not be open to the general public.

Thanks gomoho, I couldn’t have said it any better myself. But for the record:

Definition: af•flu•ent Adjective (esp. of a group or area) Having a great deal of money; wealthy

I cannot imagine how anyone could interpret my referring to the historical section of TV as 'less affluent' being derogatory. But if that is the case, I sincerely apologize for your misunderstanding.

Perhaps it would have been more tactful if I had said that the residents of the historical section of TV, like those of us in Stonecrest, tend to be more frugal when it comes to spending our wealth.

That's how I read it.
