Not only, "don't sell the kids short".............there are significant numbers retiring for the next 20 years.

Today, there are about 11,000 people turning 65 EVERY DAY.

In 20 years, there will still be 9,000 people turning 65 EVERY DAY.

For TV to sell 4,000 homes per year, they need 10 couples or single to retire every day.

I think the older sections will remain attractive to new buyers as long as the owners of the older sections continue to maintain the amenities and common areas up to the standards that have always existed to date.
Which means, instead of complaining about the rising cost of amenity fees, and maintenance assessments, understanding that those fees are what keep the place looking good, and attractive to potential buyers who will also be looking at the new areas, and as a consequence, maintain the value of our homes.
I also think that it's important that the amenities in the older areas keep in touch with the changing desires of new retirees.

We first came to TV for a visit almost 10 years ago. While driving on the turnpike near the CR 468 overpass (now Warm Springs), the Okahumpka rest area, and the then Bailey bridge (now Bexley), I commented to my family regarding the hundreds of acres of farmland/pasture that TV developer may not own the land, but the TV developer most certainly has a renewable option to buy the land. So, just because the TV developer does not currently own the land between TV and the newly purchased 900 acres, they may have (most likely) an option to buy. There is no public record of purchase options, and the potential buyer can hold the land under option for multiple years and even longer with a renewal option. The potential buyer pays an option price upfront and the option is exercised before the expiration date, renewed (for an additional fee) or the option expires.

FYI, The reason cows are grazing on property (like at the corner of 466A and Powell Rd where new Home Depot is being built) up until construction starts is so the owner can retain the agricultural exemption on the land and pay less property taxes, a lot less.

Or translation for those who object: Not at all what we wanted for a nice retirement and it feels very incestuous. Time to get out and leave it for those who love the overcrowding like a big city only on a cloistered level.

Anybody know what they're building just South of the TV industrial park ?

Can you be a little more specific? I probably know, I just don’t know exactly where you’re talking about.

Costco is perfectly capable of buying their own land.

Agree with most of what you have to say, but do not understand how Florida is benefitting from huge influx of people. Most people moving here are retired or about to retire. Where are the worker bees coming from? Most of the communities are 55+ communities. Take a ride on the newest parking lot 1-75. Already bumper to bumper. Florida is not doing anything to take into consideration the rapid growth rate.

The East side of I-75, just South of the current buildings in the Governor Rick Scott Industrial Park. They left a pocket of trees up, but are pretty prepping the land for something.

Not really...

According to the Move.org report, 65% of the people who moved were between the ages of 25 and 44 and most people moved between August and October of 2020.

Try not confuse peoples speculation or opinion with facts :)

Going so far south IS A NEW LOCATION!

All the land around here WILL get developed sooner or later. The only question is by who? Do you want the devil you know or the devil you don't?

If the devil we don’t know if building something other than a retirement community it would certainly help diversify the local economy.

Have you seen any sign of long range planning outside TV?

Seems to be the same thing only different, hodge podge of competing chain business, clustered together, with no golf cart access.

These developmrnts will mostly be under staffed and create traffic choke points as we see happening along 466/466A.
