Expand the Park - A Safer Prescott Valley
Vote YES on Prop 404 | The Safer Option for Prescott Valley
A YES vote keeps sand and gravel operations farther from homes, expands Fain Park, and ensures strict protections for our community.
Proposition 404, also known as the Government Tank proposal, would rezone approximately 40 acres of land for a sand and gravel operation, subject to strict limitations and oversight.
This decision is not about whether mining happens — it is about where it happens and how it is controlled.
Why This Matters
This vote determines:
Whether sand and gravel operations occur in a more controlled, distant location
Or closer to homes with fewer protections

Sand and gravel operations are located farther from Prescott Valley
Strict operating limits apply
Fain Park expands by approximately 80 acres
If rejected:
