Prescott Committee Efforts Will Make ‘Everybody’s Hometown’ Even Homier

by Greg Mengarelli, Mayor, City of Prescott
Prescott has long been known as “Everybody’s Hometown,” and this welcoming slogan has helped our town prosper and grow in many positive ways over the years. Our community is one where people want to live, visit and call home, and we are fortunate this is the case.
As Prescott has grown, it has still retained its unique small-town feel and that is due in part to the dedication of our community members to remain focused on what makes our town special. Our history, vibrant downtown corridor, outdoor amenities and incredibly involved citizen base are just a few of the things making Prescott so strong. 
During my first term as mayor, I established a number of ad hoc committees, including the Commission on Ecological, Cultural, Historical/Heritage and Outdoors (ECHO). Keeping in mind a desire to highlight the things that make Prescott unique, the commission works to identify current ECHO resources and those that could be developed, works with local groups with common goals and interests, and researches best practices to identify ways the City can support local groups through grants and/or cooperative agreements.
Since 2018, ECHO members have been working with each other and community members to enhance the unique strengths of Prescott and build upon them where possible.
This year we have also formed the Mayor’s Commission on a Community of Well-Being. This commission will focus on communication with the public about available services for everyone in Prescott from birth through life. There are so many wonderful services offered in our town, and the ability to connect people and provide purpose for those services is paramount. Enhancing everyone’s quality of life with services related to health, transportation, affordable housing, safety, education, parks and recreation, trails and organized activities can only help to benefit people from all walks of life here in Prescott.
Enhancements and connections from the beautification of Whiskey Row Alley and Granite Creek Corridor, as well as the forthcoming Hilton Garden Inn, will create an even better downtown and extend its walkability and accessibility to additional areas of Prescott. Plans for new trail connections will make what is already a beloved part of the community, our beautiful national forest, even more enjoyable. 
City Council and staff continue to focus on and desire to make improvements to create the most vibrant, accessible and well thought-out community we can for our citizens and visitors.
I am looking forward to seeing what the hard work and thoughtful ideas of our committees and commissions can achieve for the betterment of Prescott’s well-being.

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/ ...
