The city of Prescott will hold a property reuse and investment event at the Prescott Centennial Center,
1989 Clubhouse Drive, from 12 to 1.15 p.m. on Monday, September 8th.
It will be co-hosted by the Northern Arizona Council of Governments, NACOG.
The event will highlight renovation of historic buildings for community benefit in Yavapai County,
improve economic development, and provide information about pathways to spark revitalization through a free
environmental assessment. These assessments are typically performed on underutilized and vacant or
abandoned buildings and properties to help speed their potential redevelopment and reuse. The event is
open to members of the Prescott and Chino Valley Chambers of Commerce, the Prescott Area Commercial
Group, the Prescott Area Association of Realtors, as well as business and property owners and
individuals interested in property revitalization. There are numerous examples of revitalized
properties in the Prescott area. Local entrepreneurs have meaningfully revitalized.
properties such as the founding fathers collective and Sam Hill Warehouse. Both properties provide
new, thoughtful gathering spaces and services to area residents and tourists. When a property has an
unknown or poorly documented history, it can be difficult to sell, lease, or receive financing
to establish or expand a business. In 2024, NACA and the counties of Coconino, Mojave, Navajo,
and Yavipai were awarded a $1.5 million grant through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields
program to benefit communities along the Route 66 corridor.
The grant's primary purpose is to aid the transformation of local properties from
liabilities into community assets. The grant eliminates concerns about unknown environmental
liabilities and makes properties more attractive and valuable to investors, buyers,
and developers. It also makes it easier for owners to secure funding.
