Personally, I think this is rumor and hearsay.

One of the first meetings with Fruitland Park was covered by the online paper The ************** during the wall fiasco. The story seemed to connect the wall with this meeting.
I am guessing the precedent of golf cart accessibility of other folks from Lake County. Fruitland Park is in Lake County too. I don't think the story made the connection, I may have, just thinking.... What worries me...is that this may be the last set of homes to be built here. I feel in my bones the Morse bunch cares what happens to the building crews and all of the people employed in the support areas of this business. I am wondering if they will start another town for seniors somewhere else in Florida...or maybe Texas? THIS IS A RUMOR STARTED BY ME.

thanx for the memory jog, gracie.
i recall the 8/12 villages news article that stated, 'For sure, a deal breaker appears to be a golf cart path along County Road 466A that would allow Fruitland Park residents to travel by golf cart to Publix at Colony Plaza Shopping Center.' but i do not recall reading anything further about allowing access to villages rec centers or building a rec center for f.p. residents. i, too, fear that such info is a rumor [spun out of control] as champion6 posted.

Well, TV already owns 613 acres immediately south of the proposed Fruitland Park development. So there is the possibility of about 2,000 more homes in addition to the about 2,000 in Fruitland Park.

Am I correct in my understanding that the proposed Village of Fruitland Park is another Village in addition to all the Villages in existence currently? It is just located in the city of Fruitland Park? It would be part of the Villages developed by Morse with all the typical amenities, i.e. pool, rec center etc?

Just another village, adjacent to Hadley.

If it's just another village and adjacent to a current village why no golf cart access? What about access to other villages amenities?

The access refered to is for carts from fruitland park by non-villages residents.

I can't see how attending that meeting would be a benefit to anyone other than the folks negotiating to build or the ones who have the power to let them build.
We who live here know what a good place this is. I don't know where the potential taxes would go, to the county? Would Fruitland park potentially get a share of the property taxes? In the areas of The Villages that are inside the Lady Lake area, how does that work? Do you pay taxes to the county and to the municipality of Lady Lake?

The rumor I heard is that TV is going to build a school for Fruitland Park, not a rec center. I guess time will tell what is rumor and what is true.

I doubt that too. Unless the share of taxes they get would be used for building a school. If they get taxes directly instead of the county. When Morse built the Charter Schools he was doing it with a business eye, knowing that reliable workers would be attracted to a good school for their children. Who knows, he may have the softest heart, but he is a very good business man and good business runs on margins. If you build a school to get property, than the cost of the school will be added to the cost of the property and that will be passed on to the buyer. His model keeps the price fairly even and pretty much similar to market increases elsewhere.
