Took a drive down there this afternoon. Right after turning off 44 onto Morse headed South, you will start seeing little Conestoga wagons with The Villages branded on the top. Pretty clear this will all eventually connect to Fenney.

I have no doubt it was thoroughly researched and will be first class. Looking forward to seeing it come to life.

Fenny is about 1,000 acres and will have about 3,000 homes plus amenities. Link to March 29, 2016 article in online news site: http://www.villages_dash_news.com/su...eney-wildwood/
Of course, _dash_ must be replaced with a hyphen.

Southern Oaks may have as many as 20,300 homes in an area of about 4,518 acres south of SR 44 and east of US 301 on both sides of the Florida Turnpike. Link to March 14, 2017 article in online news site: http://www.villages_dash_news.com/vi...y-20300-homes/

However, we have read articles stating 8,000 acres. Who among us really knows? TV has a "formula" that works. I believe that successful formula will be used in Fenney and Southern Oaks.

I agree 100% the math doesn't add up the way they have done things in the past. We shall see.

I hope they're going to build a hospital in that area !

Hey blueash, after dusting off your slide rule, you really got it going again.

Odd how "The Daily Sun" failed to report today's special zoning meeting on the front page. One might think that the developer wants a fait accompli !
Wildwood has just informed me by phone that this matter will also be considered in a Commission meeting on March 28 at 7 PM, at City Hall, 100 North Main St. [ Rt 301] , Wildwood.
And again at the Rezoning meeting on April 4, at 2 PM, same location.
And again at Commission meeting on May 8, 2017, 7 PM.

Mrs. Robinson, haven't you ever enjoyed taking a country back road through horse and cattle country? There is so much to see and enjoy. I especially like to smell the fire places burning this time of the year. Nice 2 lane country roads are getting wiped out by big city folks that only know highways, shopping centers and traffic lights.

They would have already if the state of Florida would approve it. Required by law.

but alas -- I'm sure they haven't factored that into the equation yet. As of right now, we're
probably ten years behind the times.

Have you forgotten how they widened 466A prior to Pine Hills?

My money is on the Morses. They don't talk much but they DO a lot. AND they know a lot not known to us commoners.

There are four wagons on the way down to Fenney! The answer is where the wagons are the developer owns that land already! It may not be zoned the way they need it, but they own it. They also own land west of 301 just west of the 468 intersection. All this information was discovered on my two tours down to Fenney in the last two weeks.
