WMA Design Committee Home Page

The members of the Design Committee are volunteers dedicated to assisting homeowners in either building their first residence or improving existing property. We want to make the process as seamless and efficient as possible.  "We are here to help!”. If you have a project that requires Design Committee approval please fill out the application and send it in.  Small projects cost nothing and you will have a decision usually 48 hours or less.
