A few years ago rumor was the family would build out and move on to Texas to start a new development. How did that rumor work out?

Whatever the Morse family decides, move on, retire or stay, I say Thank You!!!

There is no other place like The Villages and it would not be here if not for the vision of Gary Morse.

I agree wholeheartedly. Trouble is, don't we need an arbitrator to decide which rumor is, indeed, "unsubstantiated," and which is, indeed, "substantiated," and thus "fact?"

I believe Father Time is the ultimate arbitrator.

What ever happens I can wait and be in awe of the new digs if they happen

I want to hear from the one who posted this information??

That was posted on an earlier Thread so I just searched it out. Brownwood is located in Wildwood Village which probably explains why we have a police station located there, The Market got moved there, and I believe I read in an earlier post they were able to get some type of community development fund or bonds from Wildwood, also a piece of property was swapped over to TV from Wildwood. I know Moorse Blvd is going down to the Turnpike, the developer put up monies for the interchange and supposedly some properties were bought up in that area and ares along the way for road ROWs. There's a ton of info on TOTV if you can weed thru the BS complaing crap. JMO All this info is from reading on here, searching on the Web and reading the legal in the newspaper. I have NO connection with the developer.

Would it be safe to "assume" (hate that word) that the "rough" borders of TV would be:

North - Highway 42
East - Rte. 441
South - Rte. 44
West - Rte. 301

Pondering, planning etc.

Thanks.

west is more like Powell Rd...at least in the south

The village recently purchased 450 acres just west of 301 and 1/2 mile south of 466. that property is zoned for mixed use including 4 to 12 homes per acre. I understand that they are building homes for the people that work in the villages but don't meet the over 55 requirement. The villages really take care of their own!

The property mentioned was in yesterday's paper...classified legal notices section where they were petitioning either for water management plan or change In zoning. Owner is mid Florida properties with address in Lake Sumter landing. Will be a residential area.

You can look up the sale in sumter county public records

Correction it's zoned for a maximum of 4 homes per acre

How is that taking care of their own? They won't be free!!!!
They will have impact fees and higher than normal selling price if it's the same as Buffalo Ridge. No amenities.....
