Prescott citizens now have access to a new Internet based tool that provides information about zoning and FEMA flood information.  Past requests were handled manually by the Community Development Center.  The system has grown over the years - from hard copies to emails to Internet-based self service. 

Prescott’s web developer, Derek Collins, created the new Prescott web tool and online report in conjunction with the Community Development staff.  Web visitors will need a parcel number to make a request.  The web tool then automatically generates a report indicating the Zoning District, FEMA flood zones and flood panel information for the submitted parcel.  Citizens will also get a description of zoning districts and FEMA flood zone abbreviations as well as a link to the Land Development Code.

Kudos to the City of Prescott for providing such a helpful new web tool!

Last year Prescott’s Fourth of July Celebration brought in over 10,000 visitors to see the spectacular fireworks!  In 2008, the city expects even more visitors for the big summer event.  With the increasing cost of fuel, families are staying closer to home for the holidays.  The City is prepared with free parking at Pioneer Park near Willow Creek Road, the ADOT lot across the street is also free.  Prescott has also made arrangements with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for overflow parking.  Free shuttles will be running continuously throughout the day and evening. 

People can also go to the ERAU entrance at Willow Creek and Hass to be directed to the parking area.  This is the easiest and most convenient option.  This year the city will also have post fireworks entertainment for those who’d like to continue to enjoy the festivities as the crowd dissipates.  A live band, Distant Fury, will be playing shortly after the light show finishes.

We hope to see you there!
