If they build on the land in fruitland park and add 3,500-4,000 new residents, publix at colony would get the majority of those shoppers. I have worked there since it opened and that many more shoppers would be mind boggling. Even if they opened a new store on 44 close to Brownwood, colony would be more convenient. The new sweetbay won't make a difference because in my observations, residents don't do their big shopping at sweetbay.

Who says we are older in the Villages? That's a bunch of B.S.

We will WALK down the hill and...........

Actually, a retired policeman from our town in Vermont just recently moved to Fruitland Park. He's mentioned that he enjoys coming to "happy hour" at The Villages' squares with his wife.

It's pretty close.......as far as driving distance. Obviously, those residents do come to The Villages and spend their money.

He used to be a deer hunting camp "buddy" of my husband. Sold his Vermont home last autumn, faster than he ever imagined he would. Small World.

Keep dancing. As long as the developer is present and working than things remain nice around these parts.

Don't ever leave Gary.

What? The developer buying more land, to keep building more homes, to make more money? How dairy?

I hope it continues on long after the developer stops building homes. Why would they leave when they own commercial properties and a lot of the businesses here?

As my friend Ruthie would say. From your mouth to God's ears.

If the Fruitland Park Villages becomes a reality (and from what I read that is a big if) it would only add six months to building new homes at the current rate of building. No big deal.......
