Protect Prescott Valley. Stop Wildcat Subdivisions
A YES vote ensures Prescott Valley controls how this land is developed — with protections for water, infrastructure, and our quality of life.
About Prop 492
Prop 492 puts approximately 650 acres of land under Prescott Valley’s jurisdiction — ensuring local control over its development.
This proposal is not about growth — it’s about whether Prescott Valley manages its future or allows more developers to do whatever they want without controls to protect Prescott Valley.
Why This Matters
Prescott Valley residents consistently identify water supply and growth as the top concerns facing the community.
That means every decision about development must be done carefully, transparently, and with long-term planning in mind.
