Their children will be able to attend the new charter school. The younger workers and their families will not have access to the amenities which we old folks have. They will have their own amenities within their village. There is also plans for a major sports complex near the new second village charter school. Other than that the southern area is supposed to be developed for age restricted homes just like we now enjoy.

Have your facts before starting rumors and getting everyone in an uproar.

Plenty of apartments being built on other side of cherry lake. IMO I doubt the developers could compete with that price line???????

Well, guess there might be already. Few special cases that’s been in lime light.

There already are several Villages which are designated for families instead of seniors. It is important that the people who work here have a place to live. I can't say what will happen in the future, but in these current family villages they have their own amenities (pool, playground, rec center) and do not have access to ours.

Theyre good enought o work here and serve you but not good enough to use amenities? Thats a lousy attitude

This is an age-restricted RETIREMENT community. Most folk who live in The Villages bought their homes in The Villages for that reason. What don’t you understand about that concept❓ Please stop trying to “virtue signal” about how equalitarian you are. No one is buying it. If my husband and I don’t want to share the amenities with young children or teenagers, that’s our prerogative.
