Are you sure about the number of lanes at the bowling centers? Seems low.

TV must make an annual report to the Sumter County Planning Board. Included in this report is any acquisition of new land or options to buy new land. As of the latest report that is online (May 2009), they said that they have not acquired any new land or options. Of course this is not to say that they won't in the future, but one would think that if they had visions of expanding their footprint that they would be making that move by now or in the near future since the land would have to be contiguous to existing land.

Thank you for excellent info on TV.

The real money-making machine for the Morse family -- now and for the foreseeable future -- is the commercial property. They fill up all the houses with financially-comfortable retirees and just sit back as they spend their money in all of the stores, restaurants and health care facilities! Brilliant concept. No place else like TV in the entire world.

Hi Jebartle,

Thanks so much for the hard-to-find statistics. Like BTK, I would love to know the secretary's source of information. Any chance you can find out and let us know?

Thanks again for the great post.

The amount of information that is available supposedly from the secretary at La Zamora is staggering. Who could conceive one person able to give out all those statistics without having gone through all the channels necessary to clear the process. Surely, some of that info would not be cleared for mass consumption?

FYI Village Stats
 

As it turns out, this information has been passed around and from what I can gather is reliable from my source, will continue to "dig up bones"

Villages covers 26,000 acreas / 40 square miles
15 miles North to South
8 miles East to West
15 times 8 is 120 square miles. Even assuming uneven edges, 40 square miles is low I think.
