First, I don't consider myself to be a peanut in the gallery. Second, I don't want to ague with you. Third, data can change over time.

The registered agent for CW4 Inc. is located at 1028 Lake Sumter Landing. Not significant in my opinion because this is the law firm of McLin Burnsed. They also offices in Spanish Springs and Brownwood, plus two in Leesburg. Yes, of course they do a lot of work for The Villages.

CW4 appears to be formed for the good of the Bailey brothers. Could they be "in bed" with The Villages? Sure.

Will there be more announcements? Could be.

FWIW:
Cw4, Inc. in Oxford, FL - Reviews - Bizapedia Profile

Any relation to Bailey Trail you ask?

That is good, since I went to Bushnell for the first time today and speculated that the best thing that could happen to that place was the nuclear option.

I am not going to tell you how I learned all this to protect the innocent.

The Villages Corp owns quite a bit of land or they have a partial ownership interest south of 44. Here is an example. Go to the Sumter County Property website and go to the GIS map. Click on the parcels south of 44. You’ll see several large chunks of land owned by CW4 Inc. Guess what! Look up CW4 since it is incorporated and you’ll see that the registered agent is at 1020 Lake Sumter Landing!! Viola!! You'll see other large chunks of land in which the Villages has a registered agent interest. There are plans to continue the Villages development south of 44. I don't know if they will build a golf cart path or tunnel under 44 as some have suggested. The land immediately south of 44 (owned by Villages Corp via CW4) is really not suitable for homes, thus the next village (after Fenney) will may be farther south of 44 from Morse Blvd, thus perhaps not suitable for golf cart traveling.

There are plans for a mall to be built around the interchange. There is a recognition that commercial has not kept up with the residential building.

Things will continue to grow for many more years... Now, I actually don't mind this. As long as the Villages Corp continues to build, things will be kept pristine and amenity fees will be low. I do hope that as they build south, that another town square goes in.

So.. for all of you out there reading this and about to post your comments. I almost never post because of the massive peanut gallery response that one has to bear. But for those of you that want a glimmer of the future, here you have it. Please don't act surprised when the next announcement occurs.



You are the guy that started the thread that said you were making a map where sinkholes were formed and I think you suggested they didn't happen in higher elevations. You said you lived in Largo and Sable Chase. There was some very good debate on your sinkhole theory thread and I think the statement I highlighted above could be debated and further discussed as well.


If you don't expect to get pushback from any speculative statement on here you are expecting too much. It doesn't matter if you call the people who will debate you "The Peanut Gallery" or astute observers. So far things have gone very well and the family has done an excellent job improving as they go, I see no reason for that not to continue.

Lots of debatable statements in that too-long-to-quote recent post. Just to pick one...what exactly makes land "unsuitable to build homes"? With proper engineering, almost any land can be suitable to build homes.

And just so you'll know, you are now the 301st person (+\-), just on ToTV alone, to know with absolute certainty the future of The Villages.

"Snowbirds that Rent" are probably doing the "Happy Dance".

An increased supply of rental units (second homes) should help keep rental prices lower.

One thing IS certain; the build out is myth...

A certainty we can agree on...at least for now and the foreseeable future.

I love the drive down 301 to get to my dentist in Bushnell (very good and not cheap). There are some very interesting old Florida homes. I like Bushnell. I'll put Wallers on the list.

As one that visits Bushnell at least once a week to watch my grandson play baseball, I couldn't disagree with you more. I guess if you are an elitist NE person, you might not like a working class town. I surely hope you know that the schools are highly rated, as a matter of fact, South Sumter Middle School is a Model School nationally. Most schools in Sumter County are at least 60% low socioeconomic status and still achieve high test scores. So I personally would reserve the nuclear option for many parts of the Northeast as well as some communities in The Villages.(with tongue firmly planted in cheek)
And people wonder why so many outside dislike The Villages.....
