Prescott Valley is saying no to a proposed sand and gravel operation adjacent to Fain Park and Stone Ridge Drive. Town officials say both parcels, owned by the Fain Family, are in unincorporated Yavapai County. The Town will not reissue a prior right-of-way permit that would have allowed transporting materials mined from the parcels across Town rights-of-way, including portions of Fain Park, for crushing and other processing. The Town Council recently adopted a new Strategic Plan that emphasizes parks and open space development, expanded trails, well-planned residential areas and economic opportunity. The Town is confident that it can mutually work with the Fain family toward additional enhancement of Fain Park that will better showcase the significant recreational and cultural assets of the area for the overall benefit of the citizens.
