How’d you do that? What’s your secret? My house is an ordinary designer at Mallory, average size house, average size lot.

So is there really a need for a 4th square if the entertainment will be gone? Why not just have a few areas (strip malls) with restaurants and shops?

So when everyone complains that "we were promised entertainment" etc., you can't blame the Developer for this one. You can blame yourself for voting in the EMS team.

So it's ok to send children back to school with teachers that have risk factors in high risk closed interior space but not ok to open the squares in fresh air outdoor space with significantly lower risk of virus transmission?

We now have over six months of evidence with outdoor activities in The Villages being low risk.

Some possibilities:

1) He doesn't live in Sumter County.
2) For some reason, the assessed value of his house dropped significantly.
3) He applied for the homestead exemption.

I sure they are scooping out spot by Sumter Landing for big apartment complex? Now that they can do what ever they want. Book store lot looks might pleasing? Or better yet waterfront lot?

Political platform. Thats all it is. So? Politicians tend to say what willget them vites. Nothing being said before an election should be given asecond thought

Entertainment should be paid for by the property owner or the frequent users.

After the first year the novelty is over very rarely go to the square at all.

Plus one.

This guy is not to smart. That money is given from entertainment tax and would just go to something else in the county. This is why you need well informed and educated people to run things. Only thing he cares about is his wife’s pet project.

My vote was prompted more by the videos I have seen of the commission meetings. I arrogance of the current commissioners is disgusting.
