In-Store Orthotics, Veterinarian Software Just Two Local Examples of New High Tech

by Greg Mengarelli, Mayor, City of Prescott
As I begin my first term as Mayor, I am energized by the business climate in our city. For the past year, the city has been actively working to recruit high-technology companies and to create a business incubator for these types of firms. During this process, we have encountered many businesses that are already here in Prescott doing some inspiring work. I would like to give you a brief introduction to a few of these companies.
RESA is a company using 3-D printers to create custom-made shoe orthotics inside retail stores while you wait. Owner Glen Hinshaw and his son are literally breaking the mold for custom-orthotic inserts. Currently, RESA kiosks are located inside select Costco stores. The company is negotiating agreements with other retailers and expects to have hundreds of its kiosks in stores across the country.
This innovative company uses high-tech software, state of the art 3-D printers and light manufacturing processes to create these orthotics. Tapping into local talent, RESA is employing Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students as interns to assist with its manufacturing. In 2018, RESA will be working with CTEC at Yavapai College to create a custom-designed curriculum to train future employees for the company.
Shepherd is another high-tech business in Prescott. Owner Cindy Barnes is a licensed veterinarian who branched out to create innovative software for veterinary office management. This new software helps veterinary offices operate more efficiently, from scheduling appointments to diagnosis, treatment and capturing charges. Shepherd is growing rapidly, and Cindy is seeking to hire additional software coders by retaining local students and graduates, especially from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Yavapai College. Cindy is also developing plans for an innovative new facility for dogs and their owners. We expect to learn more about this in 2018.
No discussion about business is complete without highlighting the traditional manufacturing firms making a difference in Prescott. One of these businesses is Vinyl Visions. Vinyl Visions manufactures frames and other vinyl products for residential and commercial windows. In early 2016, John and Helen Halle decided to move their company, Vinyl Visions, from California to Prescott. By purchasing property and building a new state-of-the art, 50,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, they have created jobs in Prescott.
John loves the weather and clear air, along with all of the support they have received from the community. The company is seeking to expand its workforce as it has started recycling unused vinyl products, grinding them down and constituting them into top-quality window products.
There are many more success stories like these in our city, and I look forward to meeting more business owners and learning more. These businesses are great examples of how we can preserve the things we love best about Prescott, while enhancing other aspects of our great community.

VOLUNTEER DRIVERS NEEDED! Additional drivers are needed for the DAV Transportation Network to help Veterans get to their medical appointments. Can you help? This announcement from the Northern Arizona VA has the details.. . .PRESCOTT, Ariz. – With the Greatest Generation of World War II-era Veterans fading into history and baby boomers working longer into their retirement years, the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System, in partnership with the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Transportation Network is recruiting additional volunteers to help provide transportation for eligible Veterans to and from scheduled medical appointments at facilities across Northern Arizona.Last year, DAV volunteer drivers provided more than 500 rides for Veterans with scheduled medical appointments to and from VA medical facilities. Each year the demand for Veteran transportation has grown.“We need people who recognize the service and sacrifices of our heroes and are willing to make a commitment to ensure the promises our country made to our Veterans are kept,” said Bruce Nogar, DAV Transportation Network Hospital Service Coordinator. “Our program provides a very important service to eligible Veterans at no cost to them, but we can’t keep up with the demand if we don’t have people who are willing and able to support it.”To become a DAV Transportation Network volunteer, drivers must have a valid, state-issued license, show proof of personal auto insurance, pass a basic physical through the VA, and commit to one year of volunteering for the program. VA will provide the driver physical, all required training as well as the vehicles used for transportation. Also, all volunteer drivers that work a minimum of four hours are eligible for a free meal at the Prescott VA’s main campus.Those interested in becoming a volunteer driver do not have to be a Veteran or a DAV member. We are looking for committed individuals who want to serve Veterans and show their appreciation for all that they’ve done in the service of our Nation.For more information on becoming a volunteer driver, please contact the Northern Arizona VA Voluntary Service Office at (928) 776-6013.Northern Arizona VA Website: www.va.gov/northern-arizona-health-care/ ...
