Wright Road extension and area road sequencing

A vacant 1.15-acre commercial lot was assessed at $402,300 after losing its agricultural classification, but the assessor conceded it was placed in the wrong assessment neighborhood. With corrections and discounts for shape, missing utilities, and access, the value drops to $152,100. The outcome shows how neighborhood classification and infrastructure gaps directly shape what owners pay.
