A SAND AND GRAVEL OPERATION COULD BE SET UP IN PRESCOTT VALLEY OFF OLD BLACK CANYON HIGHWAY. TOWN OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED THE FAIN SIGNATURE GROUP HAS APPLIED FOR A REZONE OF LAND BETWEEN PRESCOTT COUNTRY CLUB AND STONERIDGE. 

THIS PAST SPRING, THE TOWN EXPRESSED OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED SAND AND GRAVEL OPERATION ON LAND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO FAIN PARK AND STONERIDGE DRIVE. TOWN OFFICIALS SAY THE OPERATION AROUND FAIN PARK WOULD HAVE COMPROMISED THE BEAUTY AND USABILITY OF THE PARK. THE TOWN AND THE FAIN FAMILY HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TO FIND A LOCATION FOR THE OPERATION THAT WILL NOT IMPACT PARK LAND OR NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS. THE ROAD INTO THE PROPOSED SAND AND GRAVEL OPERATION WILL BE PRIVATE AND ONLY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH GATES.
