Wittmann Pushes to Become Its Own Town | Phoenix News

Wittmann residents are fighting to become their own incorporated town to preserve their rural way of life, resisting development pressure and demanding local control over zoning—especially to protect one-acre lot sizes. Led by Keep Us Rural LLC, they argue incorporation is the only way to block big developers and maintain low-density living. But a major roadblock looms: they need Surprise’s permission since Wittmann sits near its borders. The request was submitted August 4, and city staff are reviewing it. Critics question financial readiness and whether organizers grasp municipal budgets, while supporters cite successful Arizona towns as proof small communities can thrive with autonomy. Despite hurdles, Wittmann’s advocates remain determined to carve out their own future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
