Thanks to all for this very good info. Just one last question: Where exactly is the new library?

According to the Sumter County website, it is located at The Villages Sumter County Service Center, 7375 Powell Road, Wildwood.

Based on a visit we made to TV in August and current online maps, it is located at the southeast corner of 466A and 139. Apparently, 139 is also called Powell Road, but online maps don't show this.

Take Buena Vista south to 466A, turn right and go about one mile toward 301/Wildwood. The building is on the left; you can't miss it -- it has a gold dome. Very distinctive.

For example:

How is Brownwood coming along? It is stll in the sandbox stage

What new roads are in other than what shows up on the outdated Google Map? Lots of new streets in St James, Tamarind Grove and Buttonwood. No new roads

How is the shopping area on 466A just East of Beuna Vista progressing?
Again...sandboxes R US

How about the new hospital and library? Where exactly are they going, and has construction started?
New Library is at the corner where 462 meets 466A Very close to opening. The hospital is down near 44 and will not go live until 2014

What are the latest areas to be opened after Buttonwood and what type of homes are being built there? Also, where are they located?
Tamarind Groves abuts up to Buttonwood off St Charels. St James is at Buena Vista and St. Charles Mostly designers it would seem.

Is anything being done yet South of 466A? If so, what and where?
Lots of infrastructure, but no homes.

Have you noticed any effects on The Villages due to the uncertain economy?
The perks on the Lifestyle visit are less than they were. Home sales is downsomewhat but still booming.

I think we want a courtyard Villa.:pepper2:

Don't let that stop you from coming down and getting with a TV Agent. Two years ago when we were interested in TV they told us the same thing. What we did was get a room at the Hampton Inn and they fixed us up with a TV Rep. Sure, you do not get the LSV perks, BUT they are so watered down now it really doesn't matter. To us the important thing was still the ability to meet with an Agent. Remember, if you are truely interested, they will FIND you a TV Agent ASAP!
