IF this is correct do you know of any plans of these types of stores and restaurants opening down south?

Is this even a problem? Can't really gauge the mileage between (let's say) Sanibel and LSL and SS.

Thanks for all your help. More questions to come.

I got this from a reliable and well informed business person 2yrs ago that there's going to be a mall/shopping ctr. next to Brownwood on the same side heading west that will be built.

Ummmm....well......I......errrrr...............

Not sure what this issue is with it. I tried a couple of different 'hide referrer' sites, some of which didn't work, when I was putting that link together. The one I posted in that link worked fine for me and apparently some other folks too. Yet it's apparently not working for a number of people.

Might have to do with different levels/types of security software people are running. Twilight zone stuff.......

And here I was so happy that McDonalds was on 466A. I guess some people are easier to please.

Definitely need another gas station for folks living in the new areas south of 466A and us living in the far southeast corner north of 466A.
At present our closest option is the Shell at Colony Plaza which is often 20 cents per gallon higher than stations on 466.

Here is a site with shopping in The Villages The Villages Shopping Guide Click on the names and see the stores.

Eventually there will be plenty of shopping down 466A way. However it may take awhile (like a couple of years) until the population increases enough and the store owners get their shops built. It is what happens when you move into a new area. It is going to be a while

[mulligan]

466A will see very little commercial development. It's all golf on both sides of the road, except 1 area south of tamarind grove, which has a primarily residential development planned.

Bill--Is Antrim Dells on Villages preperty? I got your link fine, and I have heard from a number of different sources that Macy's and some other anchors are coming to a shopping area on 44A across from the villages. I just don't know if these people are credible. I guess we will all have to wait and see!

[Bill-n-Brillo]

skyc6, yes - Antrim Dells is a Villages-owned property. The link provided was to TV's Commercial Property web site.

Oddly, though - - - I'd grabbed that link I posted from a prior post I'd made on the same topic from a while back. I now go to TV's Commercial Property web site.......and the available links have changed. Unless I've gone completely stoopid, there doesn't appear to be a link available that references Antrim Dells! The web page still exists (obviously) but there doesn't seem to be a way to link to it from elsewhere.

Hmmmmmmmm.................certainly a head-scratcher.

Big mall planned just across Powell Road from Brownwood. Nation's second largest mall operator is involved. I can't remember the name but it is something like Bartolomio (sp). Talk of Macy's, Dillards, etc. per the Daily Sun.

bill i searched 'antrim dells commercial development fl' thru norton and got this interesting info:

Your Southern Home Realty, Inc.
Oxford Real Estate, Oxford Homes, Oxford Investment Property - Oxford Land Company
The Fresh Market Opens in the Villages | EON: Enhanced Online News [2008 article - need to scroll down below the fresh market announcement]; the crossmanco.com link took me here Crossman & Co | Home and i did not find any antrim dells info there

none of the linx seem to indicate that antrim dells is villages property

[Bill-n-Brillo]

nj, the whole Antrim Dells thing seems as though TV's plans for it might have changed, given that the Antrim Dells link I posted was from their Commercial Property web site......at a prior point in time, at least.

Total supposition on my part, however. I don't want to be starting any rumors!!
