Villagers will have the opportunity to learn about sinkholes in a presentation later this month in The Villages.
Sinkholes were a hot topic Friday at a pair of Community Development District meetings. CDD 2 supervisors heard from a roomful of residents about a problematic pond continually drained by sinkholes. CDD 4 continues to cope with problems stemming from sinkholes that have left two homes unlivable in the Village of Calumet Grove.
John Thompson, founder of Good Foundation Florida, will be talking about sinkhole risk and financial involvement in a program at 7 p.m. Aug. 28. The program is being put on by the Property Owners Association.
This is an encore performance of a program offered in July, when people had to be turned away because the room was at capacity.
The POA opted to offer a second sinkhole program after the planned speakers for August, The Villages Regional Hospital Vice President Michael Pittman and Director of Nursing Nancy Williams, canceled their appearance.
