In regards to the building that is going up rapidly on the north side of warm springs at 301, I don't believe that will be a gas station as they ran a ton of piping and electrical all around that building and no fuel tanks have been installed ( I have been checking daily as I go past there twice a day). That being said my guess is there will be a gas station closer to the corner where they put in a turning lane on 301. We might all be surprised with a Walgreen's too as they don't like not being close to CVS which is going in the Magnolia plaza. One last thought or comment, they are building a large retail complex on the west side of 301 just south of the turnpike ramps, these usually have a large anchor tenant so I would guess that something big will be in there but who knows what at this point. We have been down here since May of 2017 and are only just seeing these signs of future retail.

There’s also a bunch of concrete blocks stacked up on the south side of Warm Springs and 301 a little west of the building going up now.

Watch GoldWingNut's videos. He goes into detail about what is being built and how far along they are...
Don's Video's GWN are AMAZING and so informative!

I'm confused, have you been there?

Everything you ask about is within a 15 min cart ride today. And more under construction.

Many Fenny residents waited up to five years for them.

Promises ? Business decisions are not promises. They are business decisions and guess what… decades after those decisions are made, additional business decisions are made. Remember when you promised your spouse you would buy a house ? Chances are you sold that house years or decades later. Same thing.

With all of the YouTube videos online that have drones that show you what’s happening in all of the lower villages, I’m surprised you aren’t up to date. When the new bridge is finished, you will be able to take your golf cart from fenney/Eastport up to sawgrass grove then continue on the mmp along Morse as far north as you want to go. The new bridge will be for cars too not just golf carts

what he said. we had to wait 2 years to get magnolia plaza, & maybe 3 to get the bridge over 44. it will happen, maybe not today or tomorrow, but it will in good time. i was once told a lot of the delay is due to zoning, but i have no way of knowing if tht's true. the new gas station build is underway on warm springs, & i'm hoping one of the new shops are a bealls

The bridge is in the process of being built. Hard to miss, you just need to be more aware of what’s going on in your area. The strip mall is in process as well. Not sure if gas station is part of the plan. If you watch the Gold Wing Nut videos and TV update videos you’ll see the updates on all the in construction in TV

Fenny Hammock is probably never going to be like the villages that surround LSL or Spanish Springs as far as access to amenities , it's kinda way out there on its own. At the moment anyway. But I bet it's nice and quiet there and you're close to two great executive corses and the Fenny Grill so I can see the appeal.

Not sure how the new bridge is going to help get around except to Sawgrass and Southern Oaks CC.

It's become pretty common for promises to be ignored around here.
Those things are all up north. The southern end to progressing right along.

Default Corner of 301?

I think the construction at the corner of Warm Springs and 301 has a villages sign. Across from the housing, where you make a right onto 301. Also the new traffic signal on 301 is marsh bend trail and might have retail?

Until then, be thankful you have a modern Dollar General in Coleman.
