Default The Villages Construction Update #134 – Following the Dream – 1/5/2024

Video #134 takes a look at all the construction happening in and around The Villages. In this video we’ll take a look at the construction happening at the new Target, Home Depot, CVS, and the rest happening at 466A and Powell Rd. We’ll look at the areas around Eastport and Middleton, Coleman Ridge, Edna’s, the Richmond area, Moultrie Creek and Shady Brook villages, and I take a look at the area far south of Middleton where the 5th town square is projected to be built. There is also a pUp date on the litter of puppies that Lilly and Sully had this summer that are all now 6 months old.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Don

Great video, Don! The pups are cute too. I am amazed of the retail growth at Powell and 466A. Any talk of widening the 2 lane roads (Powell heading north, 466A heading west) to accommodate the increased traffic?

That's a Target that is going in next to Lowe's. With the HCA hospital, Mr. Carwash, Target, Ashley Furniture, and Outback Steakhouse that are scheduled there is basically no room left in the Trailwinds Plaza area left.

HaHa! From your lips to God’s ears since Don said nothing about Costco in this video.

Thank you for sharing Don. Very eager to find out the next area to be developed after Moultrie Creek.
