Along with the steady climate, Arizona is so geologically sound that it’s home to America’s largest nuclear generating facility. Palo Verde Generating Station provides businesses continual access to clean, reliable energy.

Fun & Events
It’s pretty hard to find a place where you can experience all four seasons without at least one of them getting out of hand, but Prescott is such a place! Summers are warm and welcoming, winters are chilly with occasional snowstorms that don’t keep you locked inside for months.
We get to explore the outdoors year-round and take part in iconic community events throughout the year. These are two of the biggest:
“ARIZONA’S CHRISTMAS CITY” www.arizonachristmascity.com
Prescott has held this official designation since 1989, earning it with the dazzling annual light display at Courthouse Plaza and the spirit infused throughout the community during the holiday season.
The festive Courthouse Lighting is held on December’s first Saturday following a joyous Christmas parade with more than 100 entries. The fun spreads throughout town with more celebrations at Sharlot Hall Museum, Heritage Park Zoo, Acker Night throughout downtown and many more venues. And don’t forget about the annual New Year’s Eve Boot Drop on Whiskey Row!
Bucking broncs, steers and cowboys have dazzled audiences over the Fourth of July weekend for 135 years and are the centerpiece of a citywide celebration. Prescott is known for its history and culture stemming from this historical event that not only brings professional rodeo but also Arizona’s second-largest parade in downtown Prescott, a rodeo dance, a kiddie parade and more events that draw people from throughout the world.

Top Attractions
First-time visitors to Prescott come for a host of reasons, but most often they are lured by the historic, romantic appeal of Western heritage coupled with the area’s breathtaking beauty and endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.
HISTORIC DOWNTOWN PRESCOTT
No place more embodies the Old West than Whiskey Row, a block of Montezuma Street between Gurley and Goodwin streets where saloons, restaurants, boutique shops and hotels look straight out of a Western movie set. On any given day you’re likely to mosey past someone in a cowboy hat who gives you a nod and warm greeting.
For more than a century, the iconic Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza has been a gathering spot for individuals, groups, organizations and visitors at the corner of Gurley and Montezuma streets. Visitors
and residents alike love the annual Christmas Courthouse Lighting, summer concerts, arts and crafts festivals, car shows, educational opportunities and historic commemorations.
The Sharlot Hall Museum, Prescott Western Heritage Center, Natural History Institute and Prescott Visitor Information Center are all within steps or blocks of the majestic courthouse to keep the public informed on the past and present of “Everybody’s Hometown.”
The historic downtown contains most of the city’s more than 700 properties
listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and from May through October the Prescott Chamber of Commerce offers downtown walking tours packed with details about the city’s past and present.
Add historic accommodations like the Hassayampa Inn and Hotel St. Michael, shows and movies at the Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center and dozens of antique, gift and specialty shops, art galleries, restaurants, bars and more and there’s no question why Prescottonians and their out-of-town friends flock downtown!

Health & Medical Care
Health care is the leading industry for growth in Arizona in terms of the number and quality of jobs, says Lee McPheters, a research professor of economics at Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business.
Yavapai County ranks first out of Arizona’s 15 counties for healthy behaviors, and thanks to a strong network of health care partners and collaborators, the community is poised to maintain its position. Nearly 90% of people in the community report being able to see a doctor when needed, according to a 2017 Yavapai County Community Health Services report.
MEDICAL CHOICES EXPANDING
Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC) and Dignity Health completed their affiliation in 2020, uniting two strong health care systems committed to creating healthier communities by providing accessible, affordable and innovative health services.
“This is an important milestone in our 77-year journey of serving Yavapai County,” says John Amos, president and CEO of YRMC. “This affiliation will expand our current health care services and resources to
benefit the people and communities we serve.” The affiliation will scale best-in-class clinical services, recruit and retain primary care providers and top medical specialists, and align clinical operations to improve delivery of care.
“This partnership is a reflection of our shared vision and values with YRMC, and we look forward to helping enhance health care services for the residents of Yavapai County,” says Linda Hunt, president and CEO of Dignity Health’s Arizona division.

Prescott has a home waiting for you Housing
Prescott’s renowned livability has fueled strong growth over recent decades, with the population expanding from 25,000 in 1990 to more than 47,000 today. The diverse selection of housing choices in and around the city reflect the broad appeal of its natural beauty, mild climate, strong economy and myriad other strengths.
You can live in a log cabin, Victorian mansion, Craftsman classic, ranch home, mission- or Tuscan-style charmer, affordable manufactured home or anything else you’ve been dreaming of. Other options include apartments, condominiums and rental homes.
Whether you’re married or single, living with young children or older relatives, there are many floor plans to suit your lifestyle and needs. Masterplanned communities offer nearly unlimited amenities, including golf courses and clubhouses, while other areas have more laid-back living, and many have a country atmosphere.
Prescott neighborhoods are as varied as its homes, but all offer spectacular views and access to parks, shopping, schools, entertainment and activities held indoors and out. Small-town friendliness and independence leads to collaboration and a sense of community among neighbors.
Home prices range from $200,000 to more than $2 million. Whether you’re building a new home, shopping for an existing one or leasing your next home, there’s a real estate broker or agent who can help you navigate the market conditions and stumble onto your destiny.
You can begin your journey home by searching the Prescott Chamber of Commerce’s member directory for qualified, talented professionals at web. prescott.org/Real-Estate-Construction.

VERSA-LOK retaining wall systems are cost-effective, easy-to-install, and give you endless design options.
VERSA-LOK segmental retaining walls are made from high-strength concrete units, dry-stacked, interlocked with pins, and set on granular leveling pads. These mortarless walls do not need frost footings. And when stabilized with geogrid soil reinforcement, VERSA-LOK walls can be built 50 feet tall and even higher. From intricate landscaping features to tall, commercial walls, VERSA-LOK delivers your best value in segmental retaining wall solutions.

Low Cost of Doing Business
Arizona offers one of the lowest costs of doing business in the United States, primarily because of low taxes and small state government. While the national average of per-capita income going to taxes is 9.9%, here the number is 8.4%.
GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY
Considering the size of the population, the state government is small. Arizona has the country’s second-lowest number of state and local government employees per 10,000 residents, according to the 2022 edition of the Rich States, Poor States study by the American Legislative Exchange Council. The same survey ranks Arizona No. 1 for business performance and No. 3 for business outlook.
In addition, Arizona’s taxes on property and business income remain low compared to the rest of the country and are dropping further for personal income for the 2022 tax year, as noted by the Tax Institute in its 2022 report.
Property taxes here are the 11th lowest in the U.S., and unemployment insurance tax is also the 11th lowest. Average costs for workers compensation are another advantage, with Arizona ranked 8th lowest nationwide.

History
Mining, ranching and territorial capitol spurred Prescott’s growth
Prescott was founded in 1864 as the territorial capital of Arizona and named in honor of William Hickling Prescott, author of The History of the Conquest of Mexico
It also was established as the county seat of Yavapai County, one of four original counties. Although the capital moved to Tucson in 1867, it returned to Prescott at the end of 1877 and remained until it was moved permanently to Phoenix in 1889.
On Dec. 31, 1886, the Arizona Central Railway connected Prescott with the Atlantic and Pacific. By 1895 the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railroad (also known as the Peavine) connected Prescott’s mining area with the Southern Pacific line. By 1900, established residences were clearly reflecting
Victorian-era architectural styles. Commercial development was altered dramatically when a disastrous fire on July 14, 1900 destroyed four and a half blocks downtown. Citizens viewed the event as a chance to replace the old wooden buildings with more permanent concrete, brick and stone buildings.
The Prescott Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1910 to promote the area for its healthful climate as Arizona experienced an increase in tourism. The copper mining industry also supported area growth in the early 20th century because of the demands of World War I.
The Depression was hard on the state and local economy, but local and federal assistance programs were well organized in Prescott
during the late 1930s. After World War II there was a significant increase in both residential and commercial building reflecting the nationwide boom in growth and home ownership.

Yavapai Humane Society Welcomes You to Prescott!
If you haven’t already figured it out, Prescott is a huge animal-loving community! It’s the perfect place to grab a leash and your four-legged best friend and hit some of the many dog friendly trails!
Before heading out anywhere with your pup, make sure he has a clean bill of health from your veterinarian to prevent any injuries and avoid any issues that might arise from exercising.
Prescott’s elevation is over 5,000 feet, and just as it takes humans a bit of time to adjust, it’s going to take your dog some time, too. And, with our elevation we also get some extreme weather with exceptionally hot summers and even some snowy winters — so always remember to check the temperature before heading out.
It’s also a good idea to bring your cellphone with you in case you both run into any issues.
Getting proper physical stimulation helps dogs keep their muscles and joints healthy, maintain a healthy weight, and helps work off energy that might be pent up from being inside. Start your dog out with a nice walk around the neighborhood and
work up to a longer hike. You don’t want to jump right into a 3-mile hike without building up your endurance and muscles, so make your walks a little bit longer each day and add in a hill or two.
When you’re ready to hit the trails, we suggest the Watson Woods Trail that starts at Rosser and goes to Watson Lake. It’s a nice 3½-mile round trip hike that is pretty flat and a good starting point for beginners.
From there, you can venture out to other trails and eventually to some that challenge you both a bit more. Lynx Lake Loop is a beautiful 2½mile hike that is relatively easy. The Constellation Loop comes in at about the same length and is also easy but often quite busy. Goldwater Lakes Trail No.396 is an 8-mile hike out and back that has nice benches along the way to take a break when needed.
Remember to bring potty bags, water for both of you, and be sure to keep an eye on your dog(s) to make sure they are not becoming overheated or exhausted. And remember that while it’s tempting to let your dog off its leash, it is Arizona law that your dog remain on a leash
that is a maximum of 6-feet long. This is for the safety of not only your dog, but others you may come across. Taking a walk or hike with your dog is not only good for them, but also for you. It’s a fabulous way to explore the beauty of Prescott and enjoy the great outdoors. Other benefits include getting exercise, and it’s a great time to bond with your furry friend.
You can even add in some training time by socializing them with other people and dogs. So, grab that leash and your dog and head out for a nice walk together! It’ll do you both good! And, if you’re looking for a new furry hiking buddy, check out our website at www.yavapaihumane.org and take a peek at all the awesome animals ready to go on a new adventure with you. Give us a call at 928.445.2666 for information and to make an appointment.
