With the recent approval of the state budget, the city of Prescott is set to receive $15.3 million for infrastructure improvements at the Prescott Rodeo grounds. The funds, which were originally allocated to Prescott Frontier Days in 2023, were in limbo after a Maricopa County judge ruled the allocation violated the state's gift clause. Contrary to some reports, the city was not involved in that litigation. State Senator Mark Finchem and state representatives Kwong Wyn and Selena Bliss were able to secure these funds for the city to implement necessary improvements at the rodeo grounds as part of this year's

legislative session. We are very pleased to receive these funds for much-needed improvements to the aging rodeo grounds in the infrastructure that supports it, said city manager Dallin Kimball. The city will be working to develop a plan for those improvements and complete appropriate projects within the requirements provided by the state. This is an important consequence for the city Prescott and our rodeo grounds, said Mayor Phil Good. We have worked diligently to see this effort come to a positive result, and I want to extend my thanks and recognition to Senator Finchham, along with the support of Representatives win in bliss, to reach this final positive result. We look forward to investing these funds in the upgrade and renovation of the rodeo grounds in the

best interest of the city, the rodeo, the participants, the visitors, and all other users of the rodeo grounds for their safety and enjoyment. Catch up with more local news stories on signalsaz.com. Subscribe and be the F1 RSD2 No.
