Town of Wright Housing Infrastructure Project
Project Overview
​
The Town of Wright is asking voters to approve a $12 million infrastructure project to develop housing for working families. This investment will build the infrastructure needed to construct 87 single-family home lots as well as multi-family units. Housing is important to our local economy because we need places for workers and their families to live. Without housing infrastructure and a ready workforce, we cannot attract and grow businesses locally. If approved, once the funds are collected the tax for this project ends. ​

Why Vote for the Town of Wright Infrastructure Project?​
​
For 20 years, Wright has suffered from a lack of housing options. Our community has difficulty finding and keeping workers because they cannot find a place to live. Sheriff’s deputies cannot find places to live in town. New businesses like the two shopping centers recently built are struggling to find staff because there are very few housing options. As of July 2024, there are no rental units available.
The Town has tried private sector solutions, but without sewer, water and electric infrastructure developers have not built homes to meet demand. The proposed Housing Infrastructure Project will fund the infrastructure that will make the land shovel ready for housing developers. Once the lots are sold, the proceeds will be re-invested back into the community for further infrastructure improvements.
