There is an impoverished neighborhood along the road and fenney will run behind it.

I agree 100%. The expense of building a tunnel under an existing highway would be huge. All our other tunnels were put in place and the road was built over them as far as I know.

I don't disagree with opinions regarding tunnels. But are they really necessary? Bridges anybody?? Cost isn't trivial, but considerably less than tunnels.

Absolutely false. Look at the Sumter County GIS site and see for yourself.

Whoever told you this is crazy. Heck, there are only three roads that go from Villages property to south of 44 -- Powel, Buena Vista and Morse.

I do have to say.....I pass by this area almost every day and I have to say......the surrounding area is kinda.....well not very Village like.

On top of the cemetery that fronts the property.....
Bless you for still believing Sales people! And re the cemetary...at least thos neighbors won't be complaining!

So much easier to wait until it's built. speculation is just what's in the mind of that person. I like the surprise every time I come down to see something different.

In my humble opinion.....the "older.....much older....homes that surround Fenny"....impoverished? not the word I would choose...

Will soon be purchased by large corporations wanting to be close to the new development and freeway exit.

The so called "impoverished" will soon be "well to do". and I would love to see that happen.

As far as the cemetery....You can't pay them enough to move.......but I heard it has been done....

I heard the only tunnel is to be built under the cemetery. The main link between Fenny and TV is to be a teleporter operated by the developer's Enterprise.

At a minimum! It's likely to last until Fenny is built out (whenever that happens).
