Very informative as always Don!

Have they published any plans for the 470 widening in Lake County?

You ain't seen nothing yet! With all the land the developer owns in the south, we'll be at 300,000 people by the time they finish building on all of it.

Nothing has been published yet for plans or schedule. Initial permitting has been submitted for the staging area for phase 3 which is on the south side of 470 across from Dabney.

What makes you think it will stop? As long as they can buy land at a reasonable price, they will continue.

Maybe the Dock at St Tropez is for radio controlled boats?

I didn't see a place to put board in the water around the Eastport lake.


Will be interesting what you learn about the Pickleball facility off 44. Based on the following thread, it is DOA, maybe worse (scam).

In the movie the Matrix one of the computer's generate beings say to Laurence Fishburne that human beings are like a disease that continually spreads. Though it is only a line in a movie, there is truth behind it.

You find a site that you find attractive for whatever reason, and you place a home on it. Others also discover the same attraction, so they start building homes, now to service these people businesses start to open and dwellings have to be built to staff these businesses. One day you wake up and realize the reason you moved to this location no longer exist. Now comes the question have you grown the tolerance to continue living here, or do you move to a new site which you know will eventually go through the same progression.

Just face it, it is what it is. Don't complain about it, you just have to decide if you want to stay or move.

Shadow Creek is not opening this week. Maybe by the end of the month. Maybe.

Since you don't like it, if you actually live in TV, I highly encourage you to sell! If you don't live in TV, too bad! :-)
