From The Village- News:

About 4,000 residents and maybe a couple of restaurants will be coming to the vortex of local traffic headaches.

The massive development will consume hundreds of acres of pastureland located between County Road 466, Cherry Lake Road, Lake Ella Road and Rolling Acres Road. In the coming months and years, it will be transformed into 940 single-family homes, 330 multi-family apartment units and 216 town homes. There will also be 120,000-square-feet of commercial development, 3,000-square-feet of general office space and another 15,000-square-feet of medical offices.

Lady Lake officials have approved the development, but some commissioners remain uneasy with the certain traffic and congestion it will bring to an already overwhelmed area.

Does this mean Costco will finally come?

TJ will come right after Costco but would prefer a Lidl.

Development does have its challenges. As far as I know, this area does not have a “Regional” planning commission to look at economic development from a macro regional basis. Soooo what you see is what you got.

This does not appear to be a TV development. Hopefully it will look better than the development already being built along 466 on the right hand side going north. How much more can they cram in here.

At some point, the planning board, if there is one, will have to take a long hard look at what they allowing to happen. When we came here we used to use 101 to get through to 301 and go north to Ocala. Now 101 is a speed track, it used to a pretty unspoilt rural area, now it is just another development. I realize people will say "well you got yours", and I did, but over building in an area will ruin it. Maybe not right now, but it will become less and less desirable.

No but when we showed up there was a parade saying Yankee go home.

Than someone realized that 75% of the residents were Yankees so the counter parade was started saying Yankees please stay.

Boo hoo....lets stop ALL development since I'm here. Get real.

How do you go north on CR 466?

[Michael G.]

Don't care about TV development plans as long as they keep heading south and not north.
