The Next Generation Housing Initiative has established numerous developments throughout Washington County. These developments will help achieve the goal of building 1,000 owner-occupied units with 40% being sold for under $340,000, 80% under $360,000, and 100% under $420,000, including home and lot/site, by 2032.

The 20-acre Village of Jackson site is owned by the municipality and is located directly behind the new municipal building.   

The Project Management Team has worked diligently and efficiently with SEH Engineering to create a concept plan for the Oaks of Jackson subdivision. The concept has a diverse mix of housing, ranging from detached single family homes to townhomes.

On October 26, 2022, the Village held an Open House to discuss why Next Generation Housing is important to the Village and to present the concept plan. The Project Management Team presented a PowerPoint presentation with details about the project and examples of what types of housing may be constructed within the development.
