Have you noticed the dust being stirred up and blowing around at the Trailwinds Development on 466a? Don't think I would enjoy living in a home bordering that property right now.

Excellent metaphor.

I am sure the dust will somehow be the Developer's fault. Sometimes progress is a dirty business!

We have to wash the cars weekly if we want them to look nice.........can't wait for this to be done.

Those of us who have had homes built in a developing area have all had to put up with it.

And it does pass. Although while experiencing the problems, not fast enough.

yup!!!!!!

We were told by the developer's rep that the infrastructure should take 12-14 months to complete, and then they will start on the buildings. Looks like about 2 years of construction at minimum.

I posted about this a couple of days ago and most of the replies were to the effect " its the price of progress live with it ". I presume most of those replying don't have to " live with it ". Yesterday the dust storm over the houses adjacent to 466A rendered them only partially visible. Talked with one of the owners who thinks the developer simply is not putting enough water down to keep the dust somewhat abated. He and some of his neighbors plan on talking after the holiday with both Wildwood and Sumter County officials to see if something can be done. Evidently the developer is watering were he is working but not the rest of the acreage which is just a big pile of dust and dirt ready to blow with the wind.

This could be a Public Health issue too. The Villages Developer does a reasonable job of keeping a lot (not all) dust down but Trailwinds Developer is "new" to this area and likely needs to be told that this is unacceptable. Frankly, I'm surprised that "neighbors" haven't made a formal complaint before now. Good luck.

Before the really nasty comments start, let's be sure to point out the "developer" IS NOT The Villages for the Tradewinds project.

I live across the street from the construction in Pinellas and couldn't believe all the dust that came off my driveway with my blower.

Mleeja: In all due respect you are the only poster on this thread that has brought the Developer (TVLSI) into this discussion. This is a billion dollar plus enterprise and I am sure that they have a public relations firm that can speak on their behalf, if necessary.

Dust is on your house too and will need power washed. Somehow it manages to get inside and no need of washing the windows until later either. Unacceptable.

The word developer was brought up a number of times before Mieeja commented. Just wanted to make clear that TV developer is not involved in this (Tradewinds) project.

Rubicon - please refer to post 7 & 8. The posters refer to "the developers". This site is quite frequently used as a forum to decry the efforts of the developer of The Villages. I for one find that most offensive and wanted to point out that the developers of the Tradewind project are not associated with the villages. Let's make sure the blame for the dust goes to the correct party.
