Abstract:
Campbell reviews the life and work of developer Homer Wright. Wright, now 89, built the top-selling NC coastal community--St. James in Brunswick County. He and his partners bought the original 2,500-acre tract in 1983. St. James now has about 4,600 property owners. St. James has four golf courses, a beach club, amphitheater, and marina. It was incorporated into a town in 1999.
