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.

On top of that, a lot of people pay cash so they will be benefiting from any soft sales in TV that might occur.
All of Florida is benefiting from a huge influx of people coming from other states and I don’t see this ending anytime soon, and actually, we might be getting more people move here than in these last few years. How many new homes do you see go unsold?
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.

As anyone who made it to upper management in a previous life knows, the larger the entity/responsibility, the larger the headaches and time/effort/attention suck. It's not out of the realm of possibility, that the elder Morse children may have designs on wanting to totally retire themselves at some point and hand off what has proved to be a winning formula, to the younger generations...who can start all over in a different location.

As someone else mentioned previously though, makes no never mind to us as it will be our kids choice to sell or stay in what might be by that time, the 5th largest city in Florida. lol.
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.
