The Southern Oaks bridge currently looks like "the bridge to nowhere" with no paved roadway on the west side of the turnpike. Any idea what's planned for roadways there?

Seriously, do you really think the developer is going to be stupid enough to build "the bridge to nowhere"? Not everything can happen all at one time.

Here's a picture of a small portion of what is coming.

If you look at the Continuing the Dream video from earlier this year at the 19:00 minute mark they talk about things in the area west of the turnpike. Think golf, recreation, research hospital, stores, restaurants, dragonboat and kayak lake. Lots of activity with homes. The question is always when it will be developed.

The Villages - Florida's Friendliest Active Adult 55+ Retirement Community

The answer to "when" is NOW, work is underway in this area already, only a matter of time now until it is completed.

Moe, Curley and Larry only know how to deride and denigrate. They lack the moral character to offer thanks when it is called for and earned.

As always, GREAT information. I'm assuming there will be a spike in taxes for the new schools. Wonder who will be affected it it. All of the Village residents they left their homes because of high school taxes! Our Long Island taxes are outrageous!

It really does pay to read all posts, before, getting your feathers ruffled.
Start with #7.

Today's "Continuing The Dream" update in the newspaper and YouTube release (The Villages FL News & Construction Update Vol 7: All About Golf - YouTube) confirms what I put out in this video about an additional golf course adjacent to the Community Support District as well as some of the other things I put out.

Also confirmed is the executive course adjacent to the Southern Oaks Bridge and the pitch and put next to the Water Lily bridge that I pointed out in my post https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...lyover-313211/

They are struggling to keep up with your Don :clap2:

Interesting to hear a driving range with Top Golf like features and golf training center are planned.

With rapidly increasing home prices, sometimes driven by view lots that sold for 50k a year ago now going for 250k+, Sumter will see a huge increase in tax revenue.
