Hmmm.. I have heard someone mention the words Manifest Destiny before.

From the **************

In surprise move, The Villages to build homes
in 'Village of Fenney' in Wildwood

Although the project on about 1,000 acres will not be contiguous to the rest of The Villages, it will be part of it and known as the Village of Fenney, which is the name of a nearby spring. The property is along County Road 468 south of the proposed Florida Turnpike interchange, southeast of the intersection with U.S, 301.

Take the words "build out" from your vocabulary.

[RickeyD]

Apples and oranges. Village in name only, not The Villages.
Although might be an alternative for those not wanting the hustle and bustle.

So like the professional housing, off bubble

According to Daily Sun, residents will share in all the same reciprocal privileges as other villagers and current residents can use the new ones.

I am not looking forward to build out. Loss of the steady hand of the developer on the helm will probably bring unwanted and unexpected consequences. Those who have experience " build out" in other projects have quite often be disappointed . "Be careful what you wish for, you may get it".

Agree. Could you imagine a Mayor for each Village. Different rules, taxes climbing. NOT !

I see a tunnel coming under 44.

Anybody who thought the Villages was building a 4 lane road to "nowhere" just didn't have their "thinking cap" on. In addition, a strong rumor has been maintained for some time regarding The Village developer having an option on land between Rt. 44 and this project announced this morning in The Daily Sun. The "fat lady" about ready to sing The Villages to a close can sit down now!

The day in and day out operations are really handled by the CDDs. The rec centers and other amenities, such as the MMPs and executive courses, are turned over to the CDDs. The roads are turned over to the county, excluding the roads in the CYVs. In the completed Villages, the developer has essentially no responsibility. CDDs are setup, in part, to provide a mechanism to collect money to maintain the amenities and infrastructure.

Management is handled by the CDDs and the county. Each CDD does have elected officials. Over time, the Developers representation goes to zero but initially he has a say. There is a regular lecture, typically given by John Rohan, that explains how the amenities/infrastructure is managed.

Read the article in the Daily Sun. Anyone have the ability to post a map on TOTV showing location and boundaries of the new TV location? I understand the general location but not the specifics. Thank you.

Until and unless the “New” Villages have better amenities, I suspect that most of the people in Fenney will travel north and few above 44 will travel south.
