Stancil objects, but builder wants 207 homes in now-rural NW Marion

Stancil, 75, has been spending most of his time on the family’s homestead, which has been in his family since 1919. Stancil recently met with the Star-Banner at his property to talk about how Marion County growth is approaching his backyard. “It was all wooded when I grew up here,” said Stancil, who was born in 1946 at what was once known as Munroe Regional Medical Center. “A new development would change the whole dynamics of this community.” The proposed development, if approved by the Marion County Commission, would be the first of its kind built in that general area west of Northwest 60th Avenue, across the street from Ocala Palms Golf and Country Club community. That area is known as Stancil’s Corner.
