Been hearing the following rumors on the street as I venture in and around The Villages........True ?.......or........False?

1. There will be a Dunkin Donuts in Paddock Square Brownwoods across from the cinemas.

2. There is under construction or will be soon starting construction of a very large high end Mall along Route 44 east of The Villages.

3. Disney is to purchase a large parcel of land near or adjacent to The Villages to construct another planned community similar to their existing Celebration community.

4.Costco will be constructing a store along Route 44 perhaps within the Mall complex mentioned in Item 2 above.

5. There is an area within The Villages where they will start constructing exclusive Premier Homes of very high quality/costs to attract Medical Doctors.

Was wondering if any other fellow Villagers had heard any of the aforementioned and whether in your opinion any are true?

Rumors! People get all excited and take it for truth.

[gomoho]

One can always hope.

[asianthree]

maybe wishfull thinking

[graciegirl]

Some may BE and some may NOT be. Doctors sometimes have little kids and one can't have little ones here. I'd vote NO mall or it would already be under construction. Not many malls being built anywhere in this country these days.


Heard all of those rumors. FROM construction workers and contractors mostly. Not the most informed source.

The mall is true, and the Celebration-like community is also true. Don't know about the others.

The Celebration community was online a couple of days ago.

This is the 2006 article that prompted the Disney Celebration rumor. Indeed there seemed to be some interest in Wildwood near the Turnpike��then the economy tanked.

I know from people in the know, I heard in 2008 about the mall from someone in a Wildwood business and the community ( I was told in 2010) from someone that works in a county office. :-)

What would a Disney community do to our property values? I don't want to compete with Disney!

Celebration and Mall were rumors 6 to 7 Years ago. Then the rumor was land bought up on 301. Maybe it takes years to get it all together.
