Unless they are dairy cows, they are already being replaced....every 18-24 months.

But the aroma remains the same.

As a village resident very close to that area I'm not at all sure we need another 800 homes in that area. I think a fair amount of people would prefer closer shopping then having to go all the way to 441. We don't need any more banks (not even sure that's possible there are so many right now ), drug stores or nail salons but we could use something like Costco (would be nice) along with a few other stores like a Phy Therapy, Walmart or Home Depot perhaps. Not real sure of the traffic implications but It clearly would help the traffic going north to get to shopping on 441, especially Norris at 466 into the villages which gets worst each year as the population south of 466a continues to grow. And hopefully the villages would make it commercial not random contractors or God help us Wildwood that cant even finish 466a after 1 1/2 years. BTW 466a might be open but it has a way to go to be finished - take a look its unbelievable!

Wildwood International Airport is being built there instead. No more commute to OIA or Tampa.
Much better use than 800 more houses.

I heard that too and then, I read where NASA is wanting a place to train people to live on Mars and they were looking to have that center built close to the new Wildwood International Airport.

We are really going to be something, aren't we?

What would Harold Norris think if he was still kicking?

I heard they were going to develop a campground there for the Rainbow Family, complete with porta potties, lots of clothes lines, drum circles, etc.

Exactly, this property will be developed and the Village Developer will do a much better job than some "outside" Developer. The wildwood leaders were just posturing for more concessions from The Village Developer.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and they (Wildwood) would be crazy to not take it. Village residents will increase their tax base without increasing the numbers in their schools. It's a win win!

People are now moving to Florida in droves. There is going to be something built there and lots of people will be there. I would rather have it be more of homes and people like us. The younger generation seems to get arrested more.

INCOMING...................

Totally agree.

With 10,000 people retiring every day, homes need to be built. IMHO

[Shimpy]

Wildwood just wants to show they can't be bullied by the big money. I'm sure a compromise will be negotiated since they probably want it and are also probably being pressured by the businesses across the street to approve it. It would be a big asset for Winn Dixie and others there to add 800 homes or 1600 people.

What does The Villages have against sidewalks and trees?
