A neighbor serves on the Hospital Board and he says that the plan is to have a larger hospital (which is building now) . We are only 17 miles from stem to stern.

If I were the TV hospital I would want a significant ambulatory presence in/near Brownwood to keep the competition at bay. An urgent care center, maybe a stand-alone ER, surgery center, etc. if they don't someone else will. You should recommend this to your neighbor, GG.

I don't know exactly what it means to serve on a hospital board. I just neighbor.

If they build it maybe a large teaching hospital will come run it. That is what I want. I imagine it is leased for a certain length of time.

I know they had talked about opening another hospital in the south but I think I remember something about they had more chance of attracting more doctors with a bigger facility.

so I am just guessing and trying to remember what was told me.

I know that this was your life work dbussone, and I am not meaning to contradict you.

I am sure the folks whose business it is to provide urgent care services are aware of the opportunities.

Because we all know they read TOTV daily; like all the restaurant owners, shop owners, golf ambassadors, golf course maintenance managers, etc.

I am just guessing that if one successful urgent care is doing good business they may look to open another one.

Huge drawback for whatever opens there - it is not golf cart accessible!

Yes, some make it without being golf cart accessible but lots fail because of that reason.

An Urgent Care Clinic ----maybe-----another hospital----unlikely. For those living near Brownwood you already have two fairly close hospitals. Leesburg and The Villages.

Rumor has it that the widening of 466a to 301 is only a precursor to the eventual golf cart path to the Russell Stover outlet

Who failed because they weren't accessible by golf cart?

The Irish Pub on the south side of 44....the same area this thread is about.

YES...If I can't get there in my golfcart then I won't get there.

Bogie, I have searched the sites that I frequent, and even looked for future locations on the Homegoods website. Nothing. I "thought" I read that somewhere because we had a Homegoods in Myrtle Beach and I am familiar with shopping there. And I thought that was a good thing they were coming to The Villages. Of course, I could be mistaken...

You are assuming the location would be across CR44. Have you looked at the land to the west of Brownwood and the N side of CR44?
