As a family we thought we were
finished developing. We even took all of our
memorabilia and displayed it in the Rohan
Recreation Complex, which at the time was
thought to be our last recreation center, a final
tribute to the history of The Villages and our
long-time recreation director.
You can imagine that there was quite
a design and development work force that
had evolved over the past 40+ years. So, as
we were beginning to wind down, we were
looking for ways to help our business partners
continue. This included reaching out to
developers in areas within the southeast, to
offer their expertise.
When local, state and federal leaders
began encouraging us to consider continuing
south of SR 44, where our previous
boundaries and limits had been established,
we knew that we, along with our entire team,
had so much more to give. So we called our
folks and asked them to come back home.
For us, it wasn't "Why?", it was
"Why Not?"
The Villages by namesake and by design
is a master planned community made up of a
collection of quaint villages that when pieced
together afford us greater opportunities.
Ask anybody in The Villages, which
is the best village, and they without
hesitation respond with the name of the
one they live in. That's because of the
deep relationships they've formed through
their daily life inside of their village.
The benefit of designing the community
around the "small town" feeling is that it
allows you to have amenities in your back
yard to enjoy, as well as the benefits of even
greater services like the hospital and other
medical facilities such as the new Center for
Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood.
We've seen this recently, and as a result of
our community growth, with the addition of
UF Health to our area.
The Villages is our home. It's been our
life's work for more than 40 years - created
and delivered through the hours of hard work
and dedication of our families, employees and
business partners that help make this place
special and run all day, every day.
But, The Villages truly isn't about us.
The Villages is about all the people from all
walks of life, all over the country, from various
nationalities and backgrounds who live here,
and work here and bring our community
to life.
It is our wish, by creating this community
that Villagers, employees and business partners
are able to lead a purposeful, enriching and
fulfilling life.
Over the next few pages you are going to
see what we think are some amazing things
we're working on. They are all still very much
in the dreaming and planning stages and our
teams are just getting started on discovering
the possibilities.
We hope that you share in the excitement
of what the future holds for our community.

- The Morse Family

When we were presented with the
opportunity to continue to expand
The Villages, some might ask "Why
continue the dream?"
